چکیده
Objective. This study evaluated the effect of microwave sterilization on the hardness of silicone and acrylic based relining materials. Material and Method. Acrylic resin specimens were fabricated and the resilient materials (GC Extra soft and Trusoft) were bonded to these specimens, which acted as a denture base. The specimens were divided into 6 groups (n=10); i.e. 3 groups of silicone and 3 groups of acrylic liner specimens. The specimens were stored in artificial saliva and were exposed to 5min and 15min microwave sterilization per cycle per day for 45 days. The control group was not exposed to any sterilization. Pre-treatment and post treatment hardness reading (Shore A) of the resilient materials were taken at 0, 15, 30 and 45days respectively. Data was analyzed statistically with one-way analysis of variance and independent sample t test. Results. The analysis revealed that, the mean hardness of the silicone relining material sterilized for 15min had significant increase of 5.81% than that of the specimens sterilized for 5mins.The mean hardness of acrylic relining material after 5 min of sterilization had significant increase of 39.09% than the of the control group . Acrylic relining material showed deterioration at 15min of sterilization on the 1 day. Conclusion. Based on the st results, it can be assumed that silicone resilient relining material was resilient after being submitted to the experimental conditions, with no detrimental effect caused by microwave sterilization. However, acrylic relining material showed distortion for 15 min sterilization and it emphasizes that 15min sterilization regime canot be advised for acrylic liners.

متن کاملAn Investigation of the Dyeability of Acrylic Fiber Via Microwave Irradiation
Microwave dyeing was carried out under a variety of conditions in terms of the power and time of a microwave to investigate the effects of microwaving on the dyeability of acrylic fibers. It was found that the dyeability of acrylic fibers were significantly improved under microwave irradiation caused by the increased adsorption of the dye into fibers due to the local over heating and an amplifi...

Effectiveness of Joint Stiffness and Power Alternations in Different Shoe Insole Hardness on Injury Prevention During Jump-Landing
Background: Studies on how the shoe insole hardness regulate joint stiffness and transfer energy in the lower extremity during jump landing are scarce. The current study aimed to determine the effectiveness of shoe insole changes in joint power and stiffness during landing from jumps. Methods: Fifteen healthy male athletes volunteered to perform jump-landing in various shoe insole conditions. ...

BACKGROUND The condition of the denture bearing tissues may be adversely affected by high stress concentration during function. Chairside Denture (Hard and Soft) reliners are used to distribute forces applied to soft tissues during function. Tensile and shear bond strength has been shown to be dependent on their chemical composition. A weak bond could harbor bacteria, promote staining and delam...
