Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of denture cleansers solutions (Alkaline (hypochlorite and Alkaline peroxides)on the properties of color, flexural strength and surface roughness of a thermally activated acrylic resin. For the experiment, 120 specimens thermally activated acrylic resin (Lucitone 550)will be made, with 60 circular for testing color change and 60 rectangular for testing surface roughness and flexural strength.Circular metal matrix (analysis of color change) and rectangular (analysis of surface roughness and flexural strength) will be included in conventional flasks and the acrylic resin will be handled, pressed and cured according to manufacturers' instructions. After divestment, the specimens obtained will be finished (micromotor, milling and sanding water) polished (pumice and diamond paste) and immersed for 20 minutes in the solutions: 1) Control 1 (no water), 2) control 2 (distilled water), 3) Corega Tabs effervescent tablet, 4) sodium Hypochlorite 0.5%. The immersions simulate daily hygiene of 05 years (1825 days). Before and after the immersion, the specimens will be evaluated for color change through spectrocolorimeter (Color Guide 45/0) and correlation of data according to NBS units, for surface roughness (surface analyzer Surftest SJ-201P) and flexural strength (Universal Testing machine DL 2000, EMIC) | |
