RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of mechanical brushing and denture cleansers on the surface properties of soft lining materials. Three soft liners, Luci Sof (Dentsply), Molloplast-B (Dentax), and Sofreliner (Tokuyama), two denture cleansers Efferdent (Warner-Lamber Co- EUA), and 0,5% alkaline hypochlorite preparation, the Reach Professional toothbrush (Johnson &Johnson) and the dentifrice Sorriso Dentes Brancos (Kolynos do Brasil) were used. Thirty specimens of each soft liner material were prepared by molding the specimen container appliance of the brushing machine, measuring 25mm long, 15mm wide and 3mm thick. Ten specimens of each material were submitted to the mechanical brushing assay, and 20 specimens of each material immersed into the solution of each denture cleanser. The mechanical brushing assay was conducted on the MSEt plus machine, at a rate of 5.0 strokes per second (20.000 cycles). Two denture cleansing approaches were used: 1) specimens immersed in 0.5% alkaline hypochlorite preparation at 37 ± 1 ºC for 20 minutes; 2) specimens immersed in Efferdent at 37 ± 1 ºC for 15 minutes. The specimens were then washed thoroughly with tap water, and immersed into distilled water, for the remainder of the 24 h period, at 37 ± 1 ºC. This procedure was repeated 8 times a day, during 90 days (720 cycles). The specimens were evaluated before and after the cleansing procedures. The surface roughness was evaluated in a profilometer SE 1700 (Kosaka ? Laboratory), and the Shore A hardness in a microdurometer GS-709 (Teclock, Japan) with a penetrating load of 10N for 1 second. The observation of superficial morphology from representative specimens of each method of cleanser were observed using a scanning electron microscope JSM 5600 PV model (JEOL-Japan). All numeric data were subjected to Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests at the 5% level. The mechanical brushing assay increased significantly the roughness mean values for all materials. The mean values for Luci Sof (Ra=0.74m), Molloplast-B (Ra=1.28m) and Sofreliner (Ra=3.18m) were statistically different after the brushing assay. The Efferdent treatment decreased the roughness mean values of Luci Sof and Sofreliner significantly, but not for Molloplast-B. After the treatment, no differences in the mean values were observed among the materials (Luci Sof Ra=0.32m; Molloplast-B Ra=0.32m; Sofreliner Ra=0.36m). The Hypochlorite treatment decreased the roughness mean values of all materials significantly. After the treatment, neither Luci Sof (Ra=0.29m) and Molloplast-B (Ra=0.27m) nor Molloplast-B and Sofreliner (Ra=0.17m) showed statistically significant differences. The brushig assay decreased the hardness mean values significantly only for Molloplast-B. After the assay, no statistically significant differences were observed for Luci Sof (43.80), Molloplast-B (35.10) and Sofreliner (27.10). The Efferdent treatment decreased the hardness mean values significantly for all materials. After the treatment, mean values of Molloplast-B (25.70) and Sofreliner (25.75) were not statisticaly different, but they differed from that of Luci Sof (36.65). The Hypochlorite treatment decreased the hardness mean values of Molloplast-B and Sofreliner. After the treatment, mean values of Molloplast-B (28.85) and Sofreliner (26.00) were not statisticaly different, but they differed from that of Luci Sof (43.80). The mechanical brushing assay increased the roughness mean values for all materials significantly, from smoothest to roughest in the following order: Luci Sof, Molloplast-B, and Sofreliner. The denture cleansers decreased the roughness mean values of Luci Sof and Molloplast-B, and increased this values for Sofreliner in Efferdent. The mechanical brushing decreased the hardness mean value of Molloplast-B, and after this treatment, all materials showed statistical significantly differences, from smoothest to hardest in the following order: Sofreliner, Molloplast-B, and Luci Sof. The Efferdent treatment decreased the hardness mean values for all materials significantly. The Hypochlorite treatment decreased the hardness mean values for Sofreliner and Molloplast-B significantly
