A Pilot study on professional cleansing protocols for PMMA resins produced by CAD/CAM and 3D printing technologies: effects on surface roughness and color stability

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effects of different cleansing protocols on the properties of PMMA resins used for dentures.
• Conducted a pilot study on PMMA resins produced by CAD/CAM and 3D printing technologies.
• Evaluated surface roughness and color stability after applying various cleansing protocols.
• Assessed long-term aesthetic and functional integrity through comparative analysis.
• Cleansing protocols significantly reduced surface roughness in PMMA resins.
• Enhanced color stability was observed in cleansed dentures over time.
• Patient satisfaction and oral health improvements were implied.
