| Abstract | ||
| Purpose: Researchers tried to improve the mechanical properties of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture bases. Development of alternative materials such as thermoplastic denture base materials as polyamide had also been reported in the literature, however, it has not been well studied regarding color stability. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of two different cleansing agents on color stability of thermoplastic denture base material. Materials and methods: Thirty samples were fabricated from polyamide (Vertex Thermosens thermoplastic denture base material). Samples were divided into Three groups: 10 each. Group I (control group): soaked in distilled water, Group II: soaked in Corega cleansing agent and Group III: soaked in Efferdent cleansing agent. Results: Statistical non-significant results were found. A slight non-significant effect on color stability was found more with Efferdent than Corega cleansing agent and water. Conclusion: Disinfecting polyamide denture base material (Vertex Thermosens) could be done safely with Corega and Efferdent cleansing agents. | ||
