Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the impact strength of conventional acrylic resin, high-impact acrylic resin, high-impact acrylic resin reinforced with silver nanoparticles, and high-impact acrylic resin reinforced with a zirconium oxide powder.
Materials And Methods: A total of 60 samples were prepared of dimensions 60 mm length × 7 mm width × 4 mm thickness to test impact strength. Machined stainless steel dies of the same dimension were used to form molds for the fabrication of these samples. Of 60 samples, 15 samples were prepared each from conventional acrylic resin (Group A1), high-impact acrylic resin (Group A2), acrylic resin reinforced with silver nanoparticles (Group A3), and acrylic resin reinforced with zirconium oxide powder (Group A4). Izod-Charpy pendulum impact testing machine was used.
Results: The impact strength of group A1 was in the range of 2.83-3.30 kJ/m ( = 3.12 kJ/m, SD = 0.16), group A2 was in range of 5.10-5.78 kJ/m ( = 5.51 kJ/m, SD = 0.18), group A3 was in range 3.18-3.56 kJ/m ( = 3.37 kJ/m, SD = 0.11), and group A4 was in range 7.18-7.78 kJ/m ( = 7.5 kJ/m, SD = 0.18). Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA and -test revealed significant differences ( < 0.001).
Conclusion: High-impact acrylic resin reinforced with zirconium oxide powder has the highest impact strength.
Clinical Significance: This research sheds light on the usefulness of novel filler materials in clinical prosthodontics.

Introduction: This study evaluates two innovative protective treatments for wooden cultural heritage objects vulnerable to biodeterioration. The first involves polyacrylic resin solutions embedded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), while the second uses the siloxane-based coupling agent 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-MPTMS) to enhance AgNP adhesion to wood surfaces.
Methods: Antimicrobial, anti-biofilm, and anti-metabolic activities were assessed using both qualitative and quantitative assays against biodeteriogenic strains (, and ).

Objective: To investigate the effect of deep margin elevation (DME) on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of various indirect resin-based composite materials.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 extracted maxillary premolars were prepared with standardized MOD onlay cavities extending 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. Teeth were embedded in acrylic resin and randomly allocated into 10 groups (n = 12), including two controls (positive and negative) and two experimental groups with or without DME.

Statement Of Problem: Whether the unfavorable crown-to-implant ratio of extrashort implants and the use of splinted versus nonsplinted crowns affects marginal bone loss and implant survival remains unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this split-mouth randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of splinting on survival rates and clinical and radiographic parameters associated with prostheses supported by extrashort implants in the posterior region of atrophic mandibles over a 3-year follow-up period.
Material And Methods: Sixty extrashort implants (5 mm in length) were placed in 10 participants.

This study investigated the antimicrobial efficacy, biocompatibility, and surface effects of a denture cleanser containing Reynoutria elliptica extract. The cleanser was prepared with extract concentrations of 0, 100, and 150 μg/mL combined with 1% coco betaine as a natural surfactant. Antimicrobial efficacy against Candida albicans was tested, along with evaluations of surface microhardness, roughness, color stability, and solubility of acrylic resin after immersion.

Background: Analyzing the (trace) metal content of synthetic polymers is of interest both for manufacturing and recycling industries where inorganic additives and contaminations must be monitored. Additionally, the metal content of microplastics has recently gained more and more attention as a means to assess their environmental impact. LA-ICP-MS is commonly used for this task as it provides superior sensitivity and allows direct analysis of non-conductive samples.
