- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different types of separating medium on the translucency of clear acrylic denture base and ocular prosthesis. Methodology: Three types of separating medium were selected (Group A: Soap and water}; Group B: Cold Mold Seal; and, and Group C: Vaseline. Samples of translucent heat-activated polymerized acrylic resin (n = 45) were fabricated using the three different separating media.(n = 10). Spectrophotometry was used to measure the translucency of each sample and statistical analysis performed to assess for differences between groups. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and post hoc analysis were performed. The mean difference in translucency between group (A) and group (C) and between and group (B) and group (C) were statistically significant, but there was no significant difference of translucency observed between group (A) and group (B). Conclusion: Soap and water and Cold Mold Seal separating media leads to higher translucency compared to the use of Vaseline.
