Basic evaluation on physical properties of experimental fluorinated soft lining materials.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the properties required for the clinical application of soft lining materials containing a fluorinated monomer versus that of conventional materials in an effort to develop a new soft lining material with long-term stable viscoelastic properties. Four soft lining materials were examined. Two experimental materials containing dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (SR12F) or tridecafluorooctyl methacrylate (SR13F) were prepared.

Development of soft denture lining materials containing fluorinated monomers.

Purpose: To develop a new fluorine-containing soft denture lining material, the influences of fluorinated monomers on physical properties and contamination resistance were examined.

Methods: Five experimental materials of different chemical compositions in fluorinated monomer and two plasticized acrylics (Supersoft, VertexSoft) were used to evaluate water sorption, solubility, staining resistance, Shore A hardness, and contact angle. Five specimens for each test were fabricated.

Physical properties of a new denture lining material containing a fluoroalkyl methacrylate polymer.

Statement Of Problem: A new fluoride-containing, methacrylate-based denture lining material has been introduced. Because of the fluoride content, this material is expected to demonstrate low water sorption and solubility and high stain resistance, but these attributes remain untested.

Purpose: This study investigated a wide range of clinically relevant properties for a new fluoroalkyl methacrylate denture base liner product (Maxfit) and compared these properties with those of 3 other commercial products.
