Abstract

© 2021, Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devices. All rights reserved.The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of incorporating fluorescent carbon nanoparticles (FCNs) on the hardness, tear, and tensile bond strength of an acrylic-based tissue conditioner and a silicone-based soft denture liner. FCNs added to an acrylic-based tissue conditioner (Viscogel, Dentsply; Group V) and a silicone-based soft denture liner (Ufigel P, Voco; Group U) were divided into subgroups according to the concentrations (Group 0: No water, Group 1: With only water, Group 2: 0.5% FCNs, Group 3: 1% FCNs and Group 4: 10% FCNs) (n=10/per group). Shore A hardness, tear, and tensile bond strength tests were performed. Significant decreases occurred in Groups U2, U3, and U4 compared to the control groups (Groups U0 and U1) in the tear and tensile bond strength test parameters (p<0.025). However, in both types of the tested materials, there were no statistically significant differences among the shore A hardness test results (p>0.025).
