Impact of Chemical Disinfectants on Surface Microhardness of Acrylic Resin Denture Teeth: An In Vitro Study

Glutaraldehyde and sodium hypochlorite significantly reduced the microhardness of acrylic resin denture teeth, whereas chlorhexidine gluconate had a minimal effect, suggesting its suitability for routine denture disinfection. Careful selection of disinfectants is crucial for maintaining the integrity of denture materials.
