Studying the Influence of Nano ZnO and Nano ZrO2 Additives on Properties of PMMA Denture Base
Suroor Abd Alwahab, Dr. Jaafar M. Moosa, Dr. Sadeer M. Majeed
Abstract
Background and purpose: The Poly-Methyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin has been commonly used in the dental
applications. This research has been aimed at the preparation of the materials which are used for manufacturing a denture with the use of a composite material, as well as observing their characteristics. Materials and methods: There have been 2 additive types (Nano zirconium oxide and zinc oxide) with various percentages of the weight (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) % added into the PMMA resin for improving its characteristics.
Results: The mix has been experimentally selected for obtaining the optimal characteristics as well as avoiding the formation of the cracks. The PMMA and di- chloromethane ratio has been respectively (20%wt) and (80%wt) for the pure samples.
Conclusions: Results have shown that there has been a thermal conductivity increase, completion strength and a reduction in the roughness.
