ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess Candida albicans attachment on conventionally fabricated (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA), CAD-CAM milled, and 3D-printed acrylic resin bases pre- and post-simulated thermal aging, along with examining material surface changes after aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-six samples (10 mm × 10 mm × 2 mm) for each of four material groups (conventional heat-polymerized PMMA, CAD-CAM milled acrylic resin base, CAD-CAM 3D-printed methacrylate resin base, CAD-CAM 3D-printed urethane methacrylate resin base) were subjected to 0, 1, or 2 years of simulated thermal aging. Microscopic images were taken before and after aging, and C. albicans attachment was quantified using cell proliferation assay (XTT). Statistical analysis employed analysis of variance (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Two-way factorial analysis showed no significant differences based on acrylic resin type or thermal aging (p = 0.344 and p = 0.091 respectively). However, C. albicans attachment significantly differed between 0- and 2-year thermally aged groups (p = 0.004), mainly due to elevated initial attachments on CAD-CAM milled acrylic resin base and CAD-CAM 3D-printed urethane methacrylate resin base. CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of the fabrication technique and material combination, no significant differences were found in C. albicans adhesion pre- or post- thermal aging. Milled and 3D-printed bases compared favorably with heat- polymerized PMMA in their affinity for C. albicans attachment and surface characteristics after aging. These findings indicate that the risk of patients developing denture stomatitis might not be linked to the type of acrylic resin or fabrication method used.

ABSTRACT

The core build-up procedure is utilized to restore teeth with limited remaining coronal tooth structure. However, voids have been observed radiographically within composite resin- and glass ionomer-based core build-ups, potentially compromising the mechanical strength of a fully restored tooth and requiring build-up replacement before a final restoration can be delivered. The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine whether applying ultrasonic vibration during core build-up placement reduces the presence of radiographically detectable voids. A total of 120 acrylic resin mandibular premolar analogs were fabricated using a 3-dimensional printer and randomly allocated into 4 groups (n = 30). Dual-cured composite resin or glass ionomer core build-ups were placed with or without vibration. The final build-ups were assessed radiographically and rated by 3 independent calibrated clinicians based on a 4-category scale for the severity of voids. In an ordinal logistic regression model with the void severity rating as the outcome, a significant interaction was found for glass ionomer, composite resin, and the use of ultrasonic vibration (P = 0.03). Vibration was associated with worse void severity ratings in glass ionomer specimens (P < 0.01). No effect of vibration was found in the composite resin specimens. The Fleiss kappa score (κ = 0.36) indicated fair agreement in all severity ratings among the 3 raters. These results suggest that the application of ultrasonic vibration during core build-up placement may not be clinically advantageous for improving restorative outcomes.
