Comparative evaluation of the effects of laser and chemical denture disinfectants on the surface characteristics of CAD‐CAM and conventional denture resins: An in vitro experimental study
The tested properties showed variations affected by denture base material and surface disinfectants. Laser treatments induced smoother surfaces than chemical disinfectants. Laser improved the surface hardness of CAD-CAM resins, while chemical immersion improved that of PMMA.
