Abstract

In this study, two acrylic based materials and three silicone rubber soft lining materials were investigated to determine the percentage of absorption and solubility in artificial saliva, distilled water, and denture cleanser. In addition, the effect of denture cleanser on surface properties of soft lining materials was also evaluated. For sorption and solubility testing, 75 discs (50 mm x 0.5 mm) were prepared and divided into 5 groups with 15 samples in each group. The specimens were stored in different solutions, and tested after 1, 4, and 16 weeks. Analysis of variance was used to find the significant differences between the materials at all time intervals. The acrylic resin soft lining materials had higher solubility (3.432% Visco-gel in artificial saliva) and absorption (3.349% Visco-gel in distilled water) than Molloplast-B after 16 weeks of aging. The greatest hardness and color change were shown in the acrylic soft lining materials.
