Abstract:This article examines the effects of thermal aging and chemical disinfection on the microhardness and flexural strength of flexible resins. The influence of the resin type on the mechanical properties was also investigated. Two flexible resins, Deflex Classic SR and Deflex Supra SF, produced by the injection method, and a thermopolymerizable acrylic resin—ProBase Hot, produced by the flasking method, were subjected to 1000 cycles of thermal aging and three chemical disinfection protocols (n = 8), with daily im… Show more
