Microwave processing of denture base resins showed color changes, with Hy-pro and TruTone exhibiting the least. Hy-pro demonstrated the best color stability among tested materials after accelerated aging.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Dental Prosthetics

Background:

  • Microwave processing offers faster heat-cured denture base resin fabrication.
  • Conventional acrylic resins processed via microwave may have adequate physical properties.
  • Concerns exist regarding the color stability of microwave-processed denture base resins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the color stability of conventional and microwave heat-cured denture base materials processed using the microwave method.
  • To quantitatively measure color changes after accelerated aging.
  • To compare the color stability of different denture base resins processed with microwave technology.

Main Methods:

  • Seven conventional and one microwave heat-cured denture base materials were processed using the microwave method.

  • Samples underwent accelerated aging to simulate long-term use.
  • Color stability was measured quantitatively at 0, 300, 600, and 900 hours.
  • Polynomial regression analysis was used to determine color change patterns over time.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant color changes were observed in most acrylic resins after accelerated aging.
    • Lucitone Hy-pro showed minimal color change, not noticeable upon visual examination.
    • Hy-pro and TruTone materials exhibited the least overall color change.
    • Acron GC microwave acrylic resins also showed color changes after processing and aging.

    Conclusions:

    • Accelerated aging causes color changes in heat-cured denture base resins processed with the microwave method.
    • Lucitone Hy-pro was found to be the most color-stable material among those tested.
    • The study highlights the importance of considering color stability when selecting denture base materials for microwave processing.
