Effect of Beverage Solutions on Surface Roughness of PEEK CAD –CAM, 3D Printing Denture Base and Heat Cure Acrylic Resin Denture Base Materials

Abstract

The Aim: The aim of this research was to investigate how distilled water, tea, coffee, and cola affected the surface roughness of poly ether ether ketone CAD-CAM, 3D printing, and heat cure acrylic resin denture bases at specific intervals (6 ,12days). Materials and Methods: Disk shape 10 mm (diameter) ×2 m m (thickness), manufactured from materials used which were PEEK, 3D printing and heat cure acrylic resin. Total number of samples are n= (75) samples, control samples not immersed in beverage media n= 15, experimental samples immersed in beverage solutions (distilled water, tea, coffee and cola) n=60 for evaluating the surface roughness at (6, 12 and 24 days) .Then all collecting data were statically analyzed by spss v ersion 25, by means of descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and duncan multiple range tests at p ≤ 0.05. The Results: The results revealed a significant increase in surface roughness in all beverage solutions at p ≤ 0.0 5. Conclusions: All beverage solutions had a negative effect on surface roughness of all experimental materials, the surface roughness increased. cola had the most aggressive effect followed by coffee then tea and distilled water have the least ef fect.
