Effect of thermocycling on tensile bond strength of autopolymerized, heat-polymerized, milled, and 3D printed denture base materials bonded to 4 different denture liners: an in vitro study.

Background: Digitally fabricated dentures may require relining due to continual alveolar ridge resorption. However, studies evaluating the tensile bond strength (TBS) of digitally fabricated dentures bonded to denture liners are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the TBS of autopolymerized, heat-polymerized, milled, and 3D printed denture base materials bonded to 2 acrylic-based and 2 silicone-based denture liners, both before and after thermocycling.
