Impact of simulated gastric acid on the physical and mechanical properties of vacuum-formed retainers: an in vitro study
The study concluded that copolyester adversely affects flexural strength, surface microhardness, and color when subjected to immersion in simulated gastric acid. Therefore, care is recommended for patients diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
