Hardness evaluation of prosthetic silicones containing opacifiers following chemical disinfection and accelerated aging.
We evaluated the effects of disinfection and aging on the hardness of silicones containing opacifiers and intended for use in facial prosthetics. A total of 90 samples were produced using a cylindrical metal mold 3 mm in height and 30 mm in diameter. The samples were fabricated from Silastic MDX 4-4210 silicone in three groups: GI contained no opacifier, GII contained barium sulfate (Ba), and G...
متن کاملEvaluation of hardness and surface roughness of two maxillofacial silicones following disinfection.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Shore A hardness and surface roughness of two silicones for maxillofacial prosthetic treatment, under the influence of chemical disinfection and storage. Twenty-eight specimens were obtained, half of which were made of Silastic MDX 4-4210 silicone and, the other half were made of Silastic 732 RTV silicone. The specimens were divided into four groups...
متن کاملInfluence of opacifiers on dimensional stability and detail reproduction of maxillofacial silicone elastomer
BACKGROUND We evaluated the influence of chemical disinfection and accelerated aging on the dimensional stability and detail reproduction of a silicone elastomer containing one of two opacifiers. METHODS A total of 90 samples were fabricated from Silastic MDX 4-4210 silicone and divided into groups (n = 10) according to opacifier content (barium sulfate or titanium dioxide) and disinfectant s...
متن کاملMaxillofacial prosthetic materials- an inclination towards silicones.
There have been constant searches and researches which are taking place in the field of dental materials to best suit the ideal selection criteria to satisfy the functionality, biocompatibility, aesthetics as well as the durability as a maxillofacial material. Among all the different materials, Silicone is the most popularly used, but still studies are carried out to overcome their weaknesses a...
متن کاملEvaluation and comparison of high-level microwave oven disinfection with chemical disinfection of dental gypsum casts.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare microwave disinfection with chemical disinfection of dental gypsum casts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 casts were prepared from a silicone mold using Type III dental stone. Of the 120 casts, 60 casts were contaminated with 1 ml suspension of Staphylococcus aureus and 60 casts were contaminated with 1 ml suspension of Pseudom...
