Abstract

It has been investigated that the incorporation of Nano-sized bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture bases can be used to improve the mechanical, thermal and antimicrobial properties of dental prostheses. This research paper examines the influence of the doping of PMMA with 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% Nano Bi2O3 on the physical, mechanical and biological properties of denture materials. These findings suggest that the addition of Nano Bi2O3 has a strong effect on the flexural strength, thermal stability, and antimicrobial activity of PMMA dentures with the highest performance achieved at certain doping levels. The study offers useful information into the development regarding advanced denture materials with improved durability and functionality.
