Purpose: To evaluate the effect of incorporation of 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% concentrations of titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, and silica nanoparticles in the heat-cured acrylic resin denture base on the peel bond strength to a silicone denture liner. Methods: A total number of 100 heat-cured acrylic resin samples were prepared and classified into a control group and three groups according to the type of nanoparticle. Each group was classified into three subgroups according to the concentration of the nanoparticle (n=10). A Silicone based-soft liner was added over the acrylic resin specimens, and the peel bond strength was measured using the peeling bond strength test at an angle of 90°. Statistical analysis was done using a Two-way ANOVA test for interactions between peel bond strength and the different nanoparticle materials and their concentrations. Results: Two-way ANOVA showed that the three nanoparticles and different concentrations did not affect the peel bond strength. Conclusion: The nanoparticles in this study were not effective in increasing peel bond strength at the studied concentrations.
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.
