Effects of Methacrylic Acid on Physical/Mechanical Properties and Biocompatibility of Urethane-Based Denture Biomaterials
2011
Materials Sciences and Applications
Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is a significant clinical concern. We have demonstrated that urethane-based denture biomaterials with 10% methacrylic acid (MAA) could bind and then slowly release antifungal drug for months. Drugs on the resins could be repeatedly quenched/recharged, and in subsequent recharging, they could be changed/switched to more potent/effective ones. However, the physical/mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the new MAA-based resins are currently
