Efeito da interação entre bebidas coradas e métodos de limpeza na estabilidade da cor de resinas acrílicas

Abstract

This study seeks to better understand the possible interaction between agents for cleaning dentures available in the market and some colored drinks that can interfere with the color of acrylic resin denture bases simulating its use, and determine the best technique polymerization of resins in respect to color stability 3 used in this possible interaction techniques thermal polymerization (long cycle , short cycle and microwave). 96 discs of acrylic resin were processed with each technique and randomly divided into 4 groups (n=24) according to the staining beverages (water, tea, coffee and wine). After finishing and polishing, its color was measured on the axis of scale CIE - L * a * b * with a colorimeter and immersed in beverages. Daily each group was further divided into three subgroups (n=8) to be subjected to cleaning processes (water, 5% sodium hypochlorite tablet, effervescent perborate) for 5 minutes. The color of the resins was measured again after 30 days. Statistical analysis was performed using the free program GMC, chi -square analysis of adherence to the normal curve and the data were analyzed using ANOVA. There were differences between the various polymerization techniques with Tukey test (p <0.05) and there were interactions between the beverage and stained cleaning agents. It was concluded that the use of one of the cleaning agents used in this study is effective in maintaining color of acrylic resin denture bases.
