CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND NATURAL SCIENCE, 4 (2): 486-496 (February 2023)
Abstract
Aim: Determine the effect of incorporating of zeolites loaded with transitional elements on the solubility of dentures base materials. Material and Methods: The process of preparing zeolites were carried out in laboratory of industrial chemistry in the education college at Mosul university, also the polymerization process for PMMA were carried out according to manufacturer instructions, after that; the PMMA were loaded with transition elements; ( silver , copper and nickel) at different concentrations, the proportions were (2%, 3% and 5% ) and with several elements at fixed concentration in the dentistry college at Mosul university. Results: the solubility values showed that the zeolite denture base material loaded with silver was the best compared to others elements, the bests proportion (2%) foe silver compared others proportions. Conclusion: The incorporation of zeolite for the transitional elements as a whole led to an increase in the solubility of the PMMA denture base material.
