Introduction: Denture cleanser must be able to remove bacterial plaque layers, eliminate food debris, with non-toxic properties. Denture cleansing was performed by immersing the denture into a solution of H 2 O 2 . Continuous denture wear can lead to plaque accumulation of Candida albicans colonies thus causes denture stomatitis. There was a slight dimensional stability difference of the self-cured acrylic base compared to the heat-cured after immersion in water. This study was aimed to analyse the effect of denture cleansing solution (H 2 O 2 ) on the water solubility of self-cured acrylic resin. Methods: Twentyfour specimens of self-cured acrylic resin sized 15 x 20 x 2 mm, were divided into the control group (n = 12) and the treatment group (n = 12). All specimens were then immersed in the aquadest (control group) and H 2 0 2 (treatment group) for 6, 8, and 10 hours consecutively. Result: The average water solubility of self-cured acrylic resin soaked in H 2 O 2 solution at 6 hours was 0.0007 µg/mm 3 ; at 8 hours was 0.0011 µg/ mm 3 ; and at 10 hours was 0.0013 µg/mm 3 . The average water solubility of self-cured acrylic resin soaked in aquadest solution at 6 hours was 0.0013 µg/mm 3 ; at 8 hours was 0.0080 µg/mm 3 ; and at 10 hours was 0.0125 µg/mm 3 . Conclusion: The water solubility of the self-cured acrylic resin immersed in the H 2 O 2 solution for 6, 8, and 10 hours was still below the ISO standard.
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.
