Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research was to examine how adding salinized silicon carbide Np to the soft denture lining material affected its thermal conductivity, water sorption, and solubility. Material and Methods: Silicon carbide NPs were added to the heat-cured soft lining material at quantities of 0.4%, and 0.6% by weight. The sixty specimens have been generated in compliance with the prescribed tests. Results: When compared to control specimens, soft lining material with 0.6% and 0.4% wt. sic NP had a highly significant decrease in solubility, a non-significant increase in thermal conductivity, and a non-significant decrease in water absorption. Conclusion: The addition of silicon carbide nanoparticles into heat cured acrylic denture soft liner material improved thermal conductivity and decrease water sorption and solubility.
