BACKGROUND: Various clinical cases of thermopress denture base materials necessitate the use of denture adhesives to achieve proper retention and stability of the removable prosthesis. Therefore; the microhardness of these flexible materials as surface property and its’ alterations due to the application of various denture adhesives are still crucial issues to be discussed.
AIM: This study aimed to investigate the impact of two commercially available denture adhesives (DAs) on microhardness of a flexible denture base material.
METHODS: A total of 30 duplicate disc specimens (DS) were fabricated from a thermoplastic injection moulded resin (TR). The obtained 30-disc specimens (DS) were stored in distilled water for seven days, and then their microhardness was measured using Knoop Hardness Test (KHN) under a 10 g load for 10 seconds. The denture adhesives were prepared, and 15 DS were immersed in Corega Super Cream, while the other 15 DS were soaked in Fitty Dent Cream. All DS were stored in distilled water at 37°C. After 30 days of immersion in DAs, microhardness of DS was again measured. T-test for paired observation was used to investigate any alterations in microhardness between the baseline and after 30 days of immersion in the DAs. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 20®, Graph Pad Prism® and Microsoft Excel 2016 with a significant level set at P ≤ 0.05.
RESULTS: Student`s t-test had revealed a significant difference between both groups after application of denture adhesive as a P value < 0.05. The obtained results showed that DA material type, flexible denture base material and their surface interaction provoke a statistically significant outcome on the mean microhardness.
CONCLUSIONS: DAs were found to affect the microhardness of thermoplastic injection moulded resin (TR); which may jeopardise the durability and serviceability of complete denture and patients’ acceptance and comfortability.
