increasing the bonding of denture base materials and soft denture liners. Because the
laser has an impact on the surface that increases tensile bond strength, the use of
modification methods like lasers is required to prevent these issues.
According to the statistical analysis of the current study, applying a laser to a
surface to treat it strengthened the tensile bond in the laser-treated groups compared
to the control groups. Additionally, the Nd: YAG laser created pits or other
abnormalities that the soft lining material was able to penetrate, enhancing the
connection in the laser-treated groups. Soft lining materials may therefore pass
through any defects or pits left behind by the Nd: YAG laser.
The use of a laser for surface treatment enhanced the tensile bond strength in the
groups treated with the laser compared to the control groups, according to the results
of the statistical analysis carried out in the current study. Additionally, in the laser-
treated groups, the soft lining material was able to infiltrate the abnormalities or pits,
strengthening the connection. As a result, soft lining materials may penetrate
imperfections or pits created by the Nd: YAG laser. (17) conducted tensile
experiments to assess how sandblasting and laser treatments affected the bonding of
acrylic resin and robust liners at the interfacial level, consistent with (7) They found
that lasing PMMA prior to applying a resillient material led to stronger mean tensile
bonds than control specimens. Also, (16) shown that preparing the acrylic resin
surface with laser beams at 3 W, 10 Hz, and 300 mJ produced tiny holes the liner
could enter, strengthening the binding. The increase in cohesive failures after laser
treatment suggests an improvement in the tensile bond strength of the acrylic-based
soft lining to the injectable thermoplastic acrylic resin because the adhesion between
these materials may be stronger than the intermolecular forces of the relining material.
Results that increased the tensile binding strength of the resin-based soft liner to the
acrylic resins were similar with the findings of (18,19), which demonstrated cohesive
failures. The alternative hypothesis, according to which Nd: YAG laser treatments
enhanced the thermoplastic acrylic denture resin's tensile binding strengths to the
denture base soft liner, was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected.
4. CONCLUSION
1. As demonstrated in this work, laser surface treatments change the surface
morphology of acrylic resin.
2. Nd: YAG laser treatment of surface injectable thermoplastic acrylic then relined with
acrylic-based soft lining resulted in higher mean surface roughness and surface
than seen in the untreated control group.
3. Injectable thermoplastic acrylic surface treatment with Nd: YAG laser (power: 15
watt) (speed: 40 m/s) (hatch 0.09) (frequency: 20 Hz) (distance off: 12mm), has
shown that when employed as a surface treatment agent, it effectively strengthens
the tensile bond between the thermoplastic acrylic denture base material.
