Enhancing mouthguard longevity: Impact of surface treatment against aging from brushing and disinfectant exposure.

The study aimed to assess the surface characteristics of sports mouthguards under mechanical stresses during cleaning, either by brushing or immersion in disinfectant solutions. Ethylene-vinyl acetate samples, 4 mm thick, were randomly assigned to cleaning methods: control (C-no cleaning), brushing with water (B.W), brushing with neutral liquid soap (B.S), brushing with toothpaste (B.T), immersion in distilled water for 10 min (I.W), immersion in 2.25% sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 min (I.SH), and immersion in sodium bicarbonate solution for 5 min (I.SB). All cleaning methods were applied for 28 days. Surface roughness average (Ra) and wettability were measured at baseline for the control group (n = 9), and after cleaning for all the other groups. One-way ANOVA with Tukey tests (5% significance) indicated significant differences among groups (p < .05). The I.SB group had higher surface roughness than B.S and B.T (p < .05). B.W showed the lowest wettability, significantly lower than B.T, I.W, and I.SB (p < .05). I.SB exhibited the highest wettability, significantly different from sodium hypochlorite, neutral liquid soap, brushing with water, and control groups (p < .05). The sodium bicarbonate immersion group (I.SB) demonstrated greater statistical variation, displaying higher susceptibility to aging compared to brushing with neutral liquid soap. Cleaning mouthguards with a toothbrush, water, and neutral liquid soap emerged as the most promising method, causing minimal surface changes in the material.

Effects of Disinfectants Used for COVID-19 Protection on the Color and Translucency of Acrylic Denture Teeth

Purpose: This study investigated the color and translucency changes of denture teeth after immersion in disinfectant solutions. Material and Methods: Ten denture teeth (Optostar/Heraeus Kulzer) were immersed in nine different solutions (ethanol 78%, 2-propanol 75%, NaOCl 1%, H2O2 0.5%, glutaraldehyde 2.6%, chlorhexidine 0.12%, povidone-iodine 1%, Listerine Naturals, distilled water) for 3 min to 180 min. L*, a* and b* values were measured before and after their immersion with a contact colorimeter (FRU-WR18/Shenzhen Wave Electronics) over a white and black background, and ΔΕ*ab, ΔΕ00, ΔΤPab and ΔTP00 differences were calculated from baseline measurements. Two-way rmANOVA was used to analyze the data for significant differences among solutions and immersion times at α = 0.05. Results: ΔΕ*ab and ΔΕ00 values were significantly different only across solutions (p &lt; 0.001), with mean differences from 0.24 to 1.81 ΔΕ*ab or 0.12 to 0.93 in ΔΕ00 units. TPab or TP00 translucency parameters showed no significant differences among intervals or solutions (p &gt; 0.050). The mean changes ranged from −0.43 to 0.36 ΔTPab units, and −0.22 to 0.27 in ΔTP00 units. Conclusions: Most of the solutions had no significant effect on the color of teeth compared to the water group. Chlorhexidine 0.12%, glutaraldehyde 2.6% and Listerine produced significant color changes, especially at 180 min. The translucency of teeth was not affected by the solutions, regardless of the type and immersion time.

PENGARUH LARUTAN SODIUM HIPOKLORIT TERHADAP KEKUATAN TRANSVERSAL PADA BAHAN BASIS GIGI TIRUAN RESIN AKRILIK POLIMERISASI PANAS

Among various ways to clean the denture based material is by its immersion in disinfectant solution, such as sodium hypochlorite. Heat polymerized acrylic is denture based material that is easily broken because of its low transverse strength. This study was aimed to observe the transverse strength of denture based material heat polymerized acrylic resin after immersion in sodium hypochlorite. This research used 24 samples of heat cured acrylic resin plates measuring 65 mm long, 10 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick. The samples being divided into 4 groups were immersed in sodium hypochlorite 1% and water for 8 hours and 24 hours in 7 days. The transverse strength of acrylic plate were then tested using universal testing machine. The measurement results were statistically analyzed employing “one way ANOVA”. The result showed no significant changes on transverse strength of heat-cured acrylic plate. It was concluded that sodium hypochlorite solution did not provide any significant changes in the transverse strength of heat cured acrylic resin.

Cytotoxic potential of denture base and reline acrylic resins after immersion in disinfectant solutions

Statement of problemThe daily immersion of dentures in disinfectant solutions can cause the incorporation of toxic substances in the acrylic resins, and studies evaluating the cumulative effect of disinfectant solutions on cell culture are lacking. PurposeThe purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of cell cultures of denture base and reline acrylic resins after immersion in disinfectant solutions. Material and methodsDisk-shaped specimens (14×1.2 mm) were obtained and divided into groups (n=9) according to the disinfectant solutions (distilled water [control], 2% chlorhexidine digluconate, 3.8% sodium perborate, 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, and apple vinegar) and to the storage period (0, 1, 3, and 6 months). Solutions were changed daily. After the different storage periods, specimens were immersed in culture medium for 24 hours, and extracts were obtained. Human keratinocytes were cultivated, and the cellular metabolism was evaluated by using Alamar Blue. Data were submitted to 3-way analysis of variance and Games-Howell post hoc tests (α=.05). ResultsBoth of the acrylic resins tested showed similar biocompatibility properties after immersion in different solutions (P=.400). Immersion in distilled water, 3.8% sodium perborate, and 0.5% sodium hypochlorite did not affect the cellular metabolism of the keratinocytes (P>.05), regardless of the immersion period and the type of acrylic resin (P>.05). Immersion in 2% chlorhexidine digluconate or apple vinegar resulted in high cytotoxicity over time, until the third month (P<.05), after which no changes were observed (P>.05). ConclusionsThe type of acrylic resin (base or reline) had no significant effect on the viability of cells. Vinegar and chlorhexidine digluconate solutions increased in cytotoxic effect over time, and were strongly cytotoxic after 6 months of immersion. Sodium perborate and sodium hypochlorite were noncytotoxic in all periods of time tested.

Bond Strength of Artificial Teeth Attached to a Microwave-Polymerized Denture Base Resin after Immersion in Disinfectant Solutions.

To evaluate the bond strength between two types of acrylic resin teeth and a microwave denture base resin after immersion in disinfectant solutions for 180 days. Eighty specimens made of acrylic resin teeth (Biotone and Biotone IPN) attached to a microwave polymerized denture base resin (Nature-Cryl MC) were divided into eight groups (n = 10) according to the treatment (distilled water-control, 2% chlorhexidine digluconate, 1% sodium hypochlorite and sodium perborate solution-Corega Tabs). The shear strength tests (MPa) were carried out using a universal testing machine with a 0.5 mm/min speed. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA and multiple comparison Student-Newman-Keuls post hoc test (α = 0.05). Biotone IPN showed similar results among the groups (distilled water, 8.25 ± 1.81 MPa; chlorhexidine, 7.81 ± 3.34 MPa; hypochlorite, 7.75 ± 3.72 MPa; and Corega Tabs, 7.58 ± 2.27 MPa, whereas Biotone showed significantly lower shear bond strength values for the groups immersed in Corega Tabs (5.25 ± 3.27 MPa) and chlorhexidine (6.08 ± 2.35 MPa). Soaking the dentures in 1% sodium hypochlorite could be recommended as a disinfectant solution for dentures fabricated with conventional acrylic resin denture teeth and microwave denture base resin. For dentures fabricated with IPN teeth and microwave denture base resin, all the soaking solutions evaluated in this study could be suggested to denture wearers.

Dimensional changes in stone casts resulting from long-term immersion of addition-type silicone rubber impressions in disinfectant solutions

There is a concern that long-term immersion of impressions in disinfectant solutions may cause changes in the dimensions of the resulting stone casts. This study investigated the dimensional changes in stone casts resulting from immersion of five brands of addition-type silicone rubber impressions in disinfectant solutions for 30 min and 24 h. Impressions of a master cast designed to simulate an abutment tooth were immersed in 2% glutaraldehyde and 0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde. The diameter of the stone cast was measured using a laser scan micrometer. For four brands of impression materials, 30-min immersion in disinfectant solutions produced no dimensional changes in the stone casts. For four brands of impression materials, 24-h immersion caused a significant decrease in the stone cast dimensions.

Dimensional Change of Elastomeric Materials after Immersion in Disinfectant Solutions for Different Times

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of immersion period in two disinfectant solutions on dimensional change of four elastomeric impression materials. Four representative materials of each class of elastomers: Xantopren (polydimethylsiloxane-PDS), Express (polyvinyl siloxane-PVS); Permlastic (polysulfide- PS) and Soft Impregum (polyether-EP) were mixed according to manufacturers' instructions and then inserted into a metal matrix prepared according to the specification of ISO 4823. The molds were removed from the matrix after 7 minutes and immersed in disinfectant solutions (sodium hypochlorite 0.5 and 2% glutaraldehyde) for 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes (n = 7), except the control group, which was not immersed. Once removed from solutions, the test samples were washed in water for 15 seconds, dried and measured three times, using a comparative optical microscope, with accuracy of 0.0005 mm. The analysis of variance with three criteria and Tukey's test with significance level of 5% showed that differences in linear dimensions of the materials analyzed were not statistically significant (p > 0.05) after soaking in sodium hypochlorite 0.5 and 2% glutaraldehyde, for the tested periods of time. Combinations of molding material and disinfecting solution can be used in the dental clinic for infection control, without changing the dimensional molds, for immersion periods not longer than 20 minutes.

THE EFFECT OF DISINFECTANT TO THERMOPLASTIC NYLON MATERIAL FLEXURAL STRENGTH

The oral health of denture wearers depends on the cleanliness of their denture. Therefore, it needs proper care and maintenance to prolong the denture wearing, while the mucosa is kept healthy. Maintenance and cleaning the denture by brushing and immersing in disinfectant solution is done to eliminate microorganisms. Thermoplastic nylon is widely used as material of choice in constructing partial or full denture instead of acrylic resin heat-cured material. This material is superior due to good esthetic, thinner denture base compared with acrylic resin denture base, and alternative material for patient allergic to acrylic monomer. Based on the findings, immersion in disinfectant solution for 24 hours can increase the rigidity of nylon denture base material. Refer to those, a research was done to discover the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% and sodium hypochlorite 1% disinfectant solution to flexural strength of thermoplastic nylon material, bearing in mind that those solution are available abundantly in less price. In this research, it is concluded that flexural strength of thermoplastic nylon is increased in sodium hypochlorite 1% immersion compared to chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2%, aquades immersion, and control group. Flexural strength of thermoplastic nylon material in chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% and aquadest immersion are relatively equal (p=1,000). Hereby disinfectant solution could affect to flexural strength of thermoplastic nylon material. Chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% and aquadest immersion can decrease flexural strength compared to control group (p=0,000). Anticipation on physical, mechanical, and chemical changes of denture made from thermoplastic nylon material can change at immersion in sodium hypochlorite 1% and chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% solution. To this matter, further research of other disinfectant solutions need to be done.

Effect of Chemical Disinfectants and Repair Materials on the Transverse Strength of Repaired Heat‐Polymerized Acrylic Resin

The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the effects of immersion in different chemical disinfectant solutions and the type of repair material on the transverse strength of repaired heat-polymerized acrylic resin. A total of 110 rectangular specimens (65 x 10 x 3 mm) of heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Triplex) were fabricated. After polymerization, the specimens were polished, then stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 1 week. The specimens were divided into 11 groups (n = 10) coded A to K. Specimens of Group A remained intact (control). The specimens of Groups C to F and Groups H to K were immersed in the following chemical disinfectant solutions (1%, 2.5%, and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite and 2% glutaraldehyde, respectively) for 10 minutes. The specimens of all groups except those of Group A were sectioned in the middle to create 10 mm gaps and repaired with the same resin (Groups B to F) and autopolymerizing acrylic resin (Groups G to K). The specimens of Groups C to F and Groups H to K were again immersed in the disinfectant solutions in the same sequence. The transverse strength (N/mm(2)) was tested for failure in a universal testing machine, at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to evaluate the effects of both the disinfectant solutions and repair materials on the transverse strength of repaired specimens. All data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's test at 95% confidence level. The repaired specimens treated with/without disinfectant solutions showed similar (p > 0.05) transverse strength values. No differences (p > 0.05) were detected among the repaired specimens either with heat-polymerized or autopolymerizing acrylic resins. The intact specimens showed transverse strength values (86.9 +/- 11.8) significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the values of the repaired specimens. Among the repaired specimens, transverse strength was not affected after immersion in the disinfectants for the immersion period tested (10 min). The repair material, either heat-polymerized or autopolymerizing acrylic resin, had no effect on the transverse strength of the repaired acrylic resin specimens.

Effect of the disinfection technique on the linear dimensional stability of dental impression materials

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dimensional stability of heavy and light bodied condensation silicones after immersion in disinfectant solution for 10 or 20 minutes. The impression materials were Optosil Comfort and Xantopren VL Plus and the disinfectant solutions were 1% sodium hypochlorite and 2% glutaraldehyde. Impressions were made on a perforated stainless steel tray, according to the American Dental Association specification No. 19, adding up to a total of 50 samples. The double mixing method (one time, two viscosities) was used. Impressions were removed from the roulette block after 7 minutes to ensure complete curing and then immersed in the solutions. Impressions not submitted to treatment composed the control group. After these steps, the impressions were removed from the solution, rinsed in running water and air-dried. Three-dimensional measurements were calculated using an optic microscope graduated at 0.001 mm. The two-way ANOVA indicated no differences (p>0.05) for any combination between variables. The results showed that the solution studied can be safely used to disinfect condensation silicone in clinical prosthodontic procedures.
