Effect of glaze and chlorhexidine on physical and mechanical properties of bis-acryl resin: An in situ study.

Background: Temporary prosthesis protects the oral tissues, in addition to providing aesthetic look and masticatory function until a definitive prosthesis is manufactured.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of glaze and 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) on the physical and mechanical properties of bis-acryl, and to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of CHX.
