Back ground: Reduction of a durable bond to acrylic denture base is the main problem associated with soft liner materials. Purpose: Evaluation of the influence of addition of Ag-Zn Zeolite on shear bond strength of silicon cold cure soft liner. Approach: thirty specimens of silicon cold cure soft liner were constructed for shear bond- strength test and divided into three groups: Control groups: 10 specimens without incorporation of Ag-Zn Zeolite, Experimental group: 10 specimens with 0.5% by weight of Ag-Zn Zeolite Experimental Group: 10 specimens with 0.75 %by weight of Ag-Zn Zeolite Plastic pattern of acrylic block with dimensions (75 mm length x 25mm width x 5mm depth )was fabricated and evaluated by Instron testing machine. Results: Least significant difference of (0.75%) of Ag-Zn zeolite group was significantly different compared with the experimental group of (0.5% and control group) at p<0.05. Conclusion: The incorporation of 0.5%, 0.75% by weight into silicon cold cure soft liner had significant effect and causes improvement in shear bond strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
