Abstract
Purpose Professional oral hygiene procedures are recommended by dentists, twice a year. BioHPP is a polyetheretherketone polymer used in prosthetic dentistry as a frame material.
The aim was to investigate whether routine dental cleaning procedures such as ultrasonic scaling and brushing affect the surface proprieties of prosthetic BioHPP restorations.
To evaluate the surface properties of different restorations based on BioHPP (veneered with composite resin and polished) after brushing and ultrasonic scaling exposure.
Materials and Methods The 66 BioHPP specimens were divided into three groups (n=22). The first group was the control group, and no further treatment was applied. The specimens in the second group were veneered with composite resin and in the third group the specimens were veneered with composite resin and polished. Each group of samples was divided into 3 subgroups: 0- no treatment, 1-exposed to tooth brushing, 2-exposed to ultrasonic scaling. The surface morphology was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The structure of samples was analysed using the XRD technique, and the surface wettability was done.
Results Control group specimens were significantly rougher compared to other groups (p ≤ 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the contact angle of water analyses between the samples.
Conclusion: Composite veneered BioHPP showed the highest surface resistance to brushing and ultrasonic scaling.
