Background: One of the greatest benefits of contemporary restorative dentistry is the creation of fixed partial dentures. The retention and durability of the fixed partial dentures may be improved by using a variety of tooth preparation methods, surface treatments, and luting resins.
Aim: To measure the shear binding strength of resin cement to saliva-contaminated lithium disilicate (LDS) ceramic after being exposed to various cleaning treatments.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of three commercially available denture cleansers on surface hardness of two different silicone denture liners at various time intervals.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 cylindrical specimens of permanent silicone-based soft liners were prepared from a custom made metal mold with dimensions of 15 mm × 10 mm, of which 60 specimens were fabricated using Voco™ and the remaining 60 specimens with Molossil™ permanent denture liners. All specimens were divided into four major groups based on cleansing treatments, comprising 30 specimens each.
