Research Abstract |
We thought that a titanium dioxide solution(TPX) could remove denture plaque and investigated coating methods for this solution on acrylic resin plate. At first, we found that the best coating method was the combination a resin plate with lathe polishing and an original solution with surfactant material. Next, we found that there was little adhesion of TPX acrylic resin plates by cleansing with a denture brush, but there was no difference in adhesion rate them by cleansing with flowing water, denture cleaner, ultrasonic cleaner, as compared with before cleansing. At last, we found that TPX was useful for not only preventing from the deposition of stains but also removing stains.
