Abstract

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Most processed resin denture bases do not fit the cast accurately because of polymerization changes in the resin. The fit is more noticeable in the palate between the denture base and the cast. Therefore, development of a polymerization system that will improve the fit of a denture base to the cast is lack of worth considering to improve the fit and retention of the denture. PURPOSE: A newly developed polymerization system for dentures is presented that results in excellent adaptability of the denture base to the cast when compared with 2 other polymerization systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-five maxillary dentures were made with 3 resins and 3 polymerization systems (a new polymerization system, SR-Ivocap system, original microwave polymerization system). Each denture and cast was sectioned through the second molar area parallel to the posterior border. Discrepancies between denture base and stone cast were measured at several points immediately after polymerization and after 30 days of immersion in water. In addition, disks of 3 materials processed in each system were examined for absorption of water and hardness at 2 measurement stages. Data were analyzed with the split-plot or 2-way ANOVA test. RESULTS: Dentures made with the new polymerization system had significantly smaller discrepancies, compared with dentures processed with the SR-Ivocap system and the microwave method. The amount of water absorption of the resin disks processed by the new system was less than the disks made by the other 2 systems. Dentures made with the new system exhibited significantly better adaptation to the cast than those made with the other 2 systems. CONCLUSION: The new polymerization system produced a more accurate method of processing dentures when fit was compared with the fit of dentures made with the other 2 denture base resins.

The influence of resin chemistry on a dental composite's biodegradation.

Previous work reported that commercial dental composite resins containing a urethane-modified bisGMA (bisphenylglycidyl dimethacrylate)/TEGDMA (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (ubis) based monomer system showed a 10-fold reduction in the release of a bisGMA-derived product, bishydroxypropoxyphenyl propane (bisHPPP), as compared with that found for bisGMA/TEGDMA (bis) based composites after incubation with cholesterol esterase (CE). Unfortunately, these materials also differed substantially in filler type and content, making it impossible to directly relate any specific parameter to the differences in biodegradation levels. By controlling for filler content and type, the current study will seek to probe the biomolecular interactions between composite resin chemistry and esterase activity in order to help explain the observed differences in biodegradation levels between the ubis and bis resin systems. After 32 days of incubation, buffer and CE solutions were analyzed for degradation products using high-performance liquid chromatography, UV spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Both materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In the CE groups, the ubis system showed a 2.6- to 86-fold reduction (dependent on the product) in the amount of isolated products relative to the bis system (p < 0.01). Scanning electron microscopy data also demonstrated the relative stability of the ubis system and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed a higher content of the ester bond at the surface of the bis samples. Fourier transform infrared data showed that both resins had similar conversions. Because both systems were identical except for their monomer systems, it was concluded that changes in biostability were associated with chemistry. Crosslinking, hydrophobicity, and solubility all relate to ubis's pro-stability.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(acrylic acid) sequential interpenetrating network pH-sensitive microspheres for the delivery of diclofenac sodium to the intestine.

Sequential interpenetrating network (IPN) of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were prepared and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GA) to form pH-sensitive microspheres by the water-in-oil (w/o) emulsification method. Microspheres were used to deliver a model anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac sodium (DS), to the intestine. The formed IPN was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were done on the drug-loaded microspheres to confirm the polymorphism of DS. Results indicated a molecular level dispersion of DS in the IPN. Microspheres formed were spherical with the smooth surfaces as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Particle size and size distribution was studied using laser light diffraction particle size analyzer. Particle size analysis was also done by optical microscope for the selected microspheres; the change in diameter of the microspheres when soaked in different media at different time intervals was measured by optical microscope. Microspheres showed a pulsatile swelling behavior when the pH of the swelling media was changed. The swelling data were fitted to an empirical equation to understand the phenomenon of water transport as well as to calculate the diffusion coefficient (D). Values of D in acidic media were lower than those found in basic media. The values of D decrease with increasing crosslinking of the matrix. In-vitro release studies have been performed in 1.2 and 7.4 pH media to simulate gastric and intestinal conditions. The results indicated a dependence on the pH of the release media, extent of crosslinking and the amount of drug loading.

A novel method to construct a third-generation biosensor: self-assembling gold nanoparticles on thiol-functionalized poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) nanospheres.

A novel method for fabrication of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) biosensor has been developed by self-assembling gold nanoparticles on thiol-functionalized poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) (St-co-AA) nanospheres. At first, a cleaned gold electrode was immersed in thiol-functionalized poly(St-co-AA) nanosphere latex prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of St with AA and function with dithioglycol to assemble the nanospheres, then gold nanoparticles were chemisorbed onto the thiol groups. Finally, horseradish peroxidase was immobilized on the surface of the gold nanoparticles. The sensor displayed an excellent electrocatalytical response to reduction of H2O2 without the aid of an electron mediator. The sensor was highly sensitive to hydrogen peroxide with a detection limit of 4.0 micromoll(-1), and the linear range was from 10.0 micromoll(-1) to 7.0 mmoll(-1). The biosensor retained more than 97.8% of its original activity after 60 days of use. Moreover, the studied biosensor exhibited good current repeatability and good fabrication reproducibility.
