Chemical and antimicrobial effects of incorporated compounds on denture base materials
Section: Research Paper
Abstract
Four chemical materials(eugenol, vanillin,chlorhexidine, and thymol) were incorporated separately into the denture base materials. The chemical changes of such incorporation were studied. The antimicrobial effect was assessed after one day to one year. Results showed that vanillin incorporation gave denture base material persistent antimicrobial effect. The chemical study showed some changes on denture base materials vary according to the different chemical materials used.
