Özet

Objective: The method used to clean and disinfect dentures can affect the surface properties and flexural strength of dentures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of eight different disinfection methods on the surface roughness and flexural strength of heat-polymerized acrylic resins. Material and Methods: A total of 108 acrylic resin blocks were divided into nine groups (n=12) according to disinfection procedure: Group 1: distilled water (control group), Group 2: 100% white vinegar, Group 3: 50% white vinegar, Group 4: 2% glutaraldehyde, Group 5: 3% hydrogen peroxide, Group 6: 5% sodium hypochlorite, Group 7: 2% sodium hypochlorite, Group 8: microwave, and Group 9: ultraviolet (UV) light. The effects of the disinfection methods on acrylic resins were examined by analyzing the surface roughness measurement of acrylic resins using a profilometer and the flexural strength values. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Levene tests were used to control the normal distribution of the data and the homogeneity of the variances, respectively. The surface roughness and flexural strength values were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey's test. Results: There was an increase in surface roughness values in all the groups except the control and UV groups (p>0.05). Decreased flexural strength was found in all the groups except the control, 50% white vinegar solution, and UV groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Only UV sanitizer caused the least negative effect among other disinfection methods in terms of surface roughness and flexural strength.
