Effects of incorporation of 2.5 and 5 wt% TiO nanotubes on fracture toughness, flexural strength, and microhardness of denture base poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA).

Purpose: The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate, for the first time, the effects of addition of titania nanotubes (n-TiO) to poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) on mechanical properties of PMMA denture base.

Materials And Methods: TiO nanotubes were prepared using alkaline hydrothermal process. Obtained nanotubes were assessed using FESEM-EDX, XRD, and FT-IR.

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Properties of Conventional Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Denture Base Resin Materials Containing Hydrothermally Synthesised Anatase TiO Nanotubes against Cariogenic Bacteria and .

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial properties of a conventional poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) modified with hydrothermally synthesised titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFC) for planktonic cells of the TiO nanotubes solution against and were determined. The powder of conventional acrylic resin was modified using 2.
