Acta Stomatologica Cappadocia. 3;2 (December 2023): 86-98https://doi.org/10.54995/ASC.3.2.3https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12695/2834Statement of the problem: There is still a lack of data regarding the ef-fects of exposure to different chemical disinfectants on the color stability, light translucency, and surface roughness of dentures is limited.Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of six different chemical disinfectants on the color change, translucency, and surface roughness properties of heat-polymerized denture base acrylic resin.Material & Methods: Totally 70 rectangular blocks (10×10×2 mm) were polymerized from the heat-polymerized acrylic denture base resin material. The surfaces of the specimens polished with 600- and 1200-grit waterproof abra-sive paper. Each specimen were immersed in six denture cleansers. The total immersion time of a specimen in selected chemical disinfectant was 36 hours. Color changes, translucency and, surface roughness were measured after im-mersion process. The results were statistically analyzed with 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) test (?=.05).Results: According to the results of the 1-way ANOVA test, significant differences were observed in the ?E00, TP00 and Ra properties among the acrylic resin groups following immersion in chemical disinfectants (P<0.05). ?E00 value of the CG group was significantly higher than that of the NS, SH, G, and E groups (P<0.05). The TP00 values of the NS and G groups were demonstrated significant differences compared with C group (P<0.05). The Ra values of the SH, SP, G, CG and, E groups were significantly increased after immersion pro-cess, in comparison with C and NS groups (P<0.05).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChemical DisinfectantsColor StabilityTranslucencySur-face RoughnessArticle328698
