| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was to verify the biocompatibility of a TiO2-coated acrylic resin produced by the new coating method with spray-coating technique.Methods: The TiO2 coating agent was sprayed onto the specimens using an air-brush gun. Specimens were then divided into ‘PMMA’, ‘primer-coated PMMA’ and ‘TiO2-coated PMMA’ groups to be evaluated for biological safety using a hamster oral mucosa irritation test, a guinea pig skin sensitization test and a rabbit intracutaneous test. The biological reaction was scored.Results: Reaction scores were considerably less than 1.0, the acceptable limit set by the ISO, in all three tests. Indeed, in most samples there was no deleterious effect at all.Conclusion: These results tested on animals demonstrate that denture base resin coated with TiO2 by this method does not cause irritation or sensitization of the oral mucosa, skin or intracutaneous tissue, and is therefore good biocompatibility for use in close proximity to oral mucosa and skin.
