PURPOSE: Hard reline procedures are commonly used to improve denture fit; however, the long-term durability of reline materials remains unclear. This study evaluated time-dependent changes in the surface properties and biofilm adhesion of light- and auto-polymerizing hard reline materials following long-term immersion in artificial saliva. The findings may help determine optimal timing for clinical intervention and enhance prosthesis longevity.
METHODS: Specimens of three materials-light-polymerizing reline, auto-polymerizing reline, and heat-polymerizing denture base polymethyl methacrylate-were immersed in artificial saliva for up to 180 days. Auto-polymerizing materials continue to polymerize over time, whereas light-polymerizing materials require light irradiation. The surface properties were evaluated based on Vickers hardness, surface roughness, color stability, contact angle, and Candida albicans (C. albicans) biofilm adhesion.
RESULTS: After 180 days, the light-polymerizing material exhibited a significant increase in hardness (P < 0.001), whereas the auto-polymerizing material exhibited an increase from day 120 (P < 0.001). Contrastingly, the heat-polymerizing PMMA exhibited a significant decrease in hardness. The surface roughness increased nearly threefold for the auto-polymerizing material, indicating pronounced degradation. Color changes in the light-polymerizing material were weaker than those in the auto-polymerizing material at all time points except at 60 and 150 days. C. albicans adhesion increased significantly in the auto-polymerizing material (P = 0.034), whereas the light-polymerized material showed no significant change (P = 0.258).
CONCLUSIONS: Time-dependent changes in surface characteristics were observed in both reline materials. The light-polymerizing material superior stability throughout the immersion period compared with that of the auto-polymerizing material, indicating superior long-term performance.
