Evaluation of the effectiveness of bioactive glass fillers against to PMMA denture base materials: An in vitro study.

Background: Dentures with antimicrobial properties are desirable for preventing adhesion. This study was to assess the effectiveness of bioactive glass (BAG) on adhesion, surface roughness, and hardness of denture base materials.

Methods: Heat-polymerized (HP) and autopolymerized (AP) acrylic resins were used to fabricate 240 disk specimens 120/material, 60/, 60/surface roughness and hardness).
