Physical, mechanical and anti‐biofilm formation properties of CAD‐CAM milled or 3D printed denture base resins: In Vitro analysis

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Purpose

To investigate surface characteristics (roughness and contact angle), anti-biofilm formation, and mechanical properties (mini-flexural strength) of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) PMMA polymer, and three-dimensional (3D) printed resin for denture base fabrication compared with conventional heat polymerized denture base resins.

Materials and Methods

A total of 60 discs and 40 rectangular specimens were fabricated from one CAD-CAM (AvaDent), one 3D printed (Cosmos Denture), and two conventional heat polymerized (Lucitone 199 and VipiWave) materials for denture base fabrication. Roughness was determined by Ra value; the contact angle was measured by the sessile drop method; the biofilm formation inhibition behavior was analyzed through C. albicans adhesion, while mini-flexural strength test was done using a three-point bending test. The data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics (α = 0.05).

Results

The CAD-CAM PMMA group showed the lowest C. albicans adhesion (log CFU/mL: 3.74 ±0.57) and highest mini-flexural strength mean (114.96 ±16.23 MPa). 3D printed specimens presented the highest surface roughness (Ra: 0.317 ±0.151 μm) and lowest mini-flexural strength values (57.23 ±9.07 MPa). However, there was no statistical difference between CAD-CAM PMMA and conventional groups for roughness, contact angle, and mini-flexural strength.

Conclusions

CAD-CAM milled materials present surface and mechanical properties similar to conventional resins and show improved behavior preventing C. albicans adhesion. Nevertheless, 3D printed resins present decreased mini-flexural strength.
