Characterization, antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility, and inflammatory response of 3D-printed denture base resin functionalized with alpha-silver tungstate

Key Points

• To characterize a 3D-printed denture base resin modified with α-Ag2WO4 microcrystals and assess its properties.
• Functionalized denture resin with α-Ag2WO4 microcrystals
• Evaluated chemical and surface properties
• Assessed flexural strength and antimicrobial activity
• Conducted biocompatibility and inflammatory response tests
• Enhanced antimicrobial activity compared to non-functionalized resin
• Improved flexural strength observed
• Biocompatibility tests indicated favorable responses
• Inflammatory response remained within acceptable limits
