The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the long-term effect overnight use denture cleansers with different chemical compositions on color stability base polymers (DBPs). four DBPs evaluated were PEEK (PK group), thermoinjection-molded polyamide (PA auto-polymerized polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) (AP and heat-polymerized resin PMMA (HP group). cleaning agents used Corega tablet (CT), Prote...

BACKGROUND Daily bathing with antiseptic cleansers are proposed by some physicians as an adjunctive management of atopic dermatitis (AD). As atopic skin is sensitive, selection of cleansing products becomes a topic of concern. OBJECTIVE Our purpose is to evaluate the pH of various antiseptic body cleansers to give an overview for recommendation to patients with AD. METHODS Commonly bar and ...

Chemical disinfectants are usually associated with mechanical methods to remove stains and reduce biofilm formation. This study evaluated the effect of disinfectants on release of metal ions and surface roughness of commercially pure titanium, metal alloys, and heat-polymerized acrylic resin, simulating 180 immersion trials. Disk-shaped specimens were fabricated with commercially pure titanium ...

Many patients use household cleaners to clean denture which can cause discoloration and damage soft liners. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of household cleansers on the color change of two types of permanent soft liners. Methods: In this interventional study, 80 permanent silicone soft liners, including 40 heat-cured liners (Molloplast-B, Detax Gmbh & Co. ...

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to: (1) determine patient satisfaction with implant-supported mandibular overdentures using magnet, bar-clip, and ball-socket attachments; and (2) assess the relation between maximum bite force and patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a cross-over clinical trial, 18 edentulous patients with mandibular denture complaints received two mandibular...

The loss of teeth and their replacement by artificial denture is associated with many problems. The denture needs a certain amount of ridge height to give it retention and a long-term function. Crest lengthening procedures are performed to provide a better anatomic environment and to create proper supporting structures for more stability and retention of the denture. The purpose of our study is...
