Denture cleanser is the most widely used method by the patients to maintain clean and healthy denture but the prolong use of such cleansers may affect the properties of the denture. So the aim of our study is to observe the effect of denture cleansers on surface hardness and surface roughness of the light cured acrylic resin after their immersion in the tea solution.
Light curing acrylic resin was prepared and immersed in four types of denture Cleansers after there staining with tea then surface hardness and surface roughness of the acrylic resin was measured.
There is no change in the stained acrylic properties when the samples were immersed in the denture cleansers compared to that immersed in the distilled water.
The prepared denture cleanser solutions are good and satisfactory cleanser materials for the acrylic resin denture base. It’s recommended to use the denture cleanser for cleansing the prostheses which cured by light curing method.
