Effects of aluminum oxide addition on the flexural strength, surface hardness, and roughness of heat-polymerized acrylic resin
Background/purpose: Acrylic dentures frequently fracture during service due to their poor strength characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding 0.5–5 wt% aluminum oxide (Al2O3) powder on the flexural strength, surface hardness, and roughness of a conventional heat-pol...
