Next Generation Biodegradable Material for Dental Teeth and Denture base Material: Vegetable Peels as an Alternative Reinforcement in Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)

Abstract

Today, oral diseases are the most quotidian and conventional issues of the 21st Century. Further investigations about the oral disorders stated that it comprises tooth decay, mouth sores, tooth erosion, tooth sensitivity, gum diseases, toothaches, and dental emergencies are predominant in today’s generation. The further study identified that the improper bonding between the denture base and dental teeth ends up with costly repair along with mouth sores to provide relief from these problems. This effect is not age-restricted and can be observed in any age range but it is prevalent in middle age (35 years) to old age (<80 years) people in the world. Approximately one-third of the world’s population is suffering because of untreated caries of natural teeth (32.7%). The optimal composition of PMMA, organic filler materials, zinc or titanium oxides etc. as denture base, dental tooth, clinical trials with observation, and experimental methodology is yet to be unleashed to reach its optimized state for this considered problem. A call for an alternative material for denture base or the dental tooth is still an unanswered question for a long period. Selection of appropriate reinforcement material encompassing the guidelines for liquid/powder ratio, avoid processes terrible for bond strength, wax-free model. Current work focuses on the investigation of mechanical properties with or without the reinforcement of new and novel biomaterials made of epoxy with carrot peel, epoxy with onion peel, lemon peel, and epoxy with potato peel. Comparative analysis of coupons for with/without the reinforcement (in the form of Short/Continuous fiber) was investigated. The Simulation work correlated with experimental work to explore the possibilities of new material in the arena of dental.
