摘要

This study evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS), flexural strength, and color stability of three denture base resins (DBRs)—heat-polymerized (HEA), cold-polymerized (COL), and 3D-printed (TDP)—before and after thermocycling. SBS was evaluated after bonding COL to each DBR. Flexural strength was measured via three-point bending, and color stability with a colorimeter. Half of the specimens underwent 10,000 thermocycles to simulate aging. TDP (9.91 MPa) showed significantly lower SBS than HEA (14.85 MPa) and COL (15.76 MPa) before thermocycling (p < 0.001), but was comparable to HEA (6.89 vs. 7.17 MPa; p > 0.999) afterward. SBS decreased significantly in all groups post-thermocycling (p < 0.01). Thermocycling did not affect the flexural strength of HEA (p = 0.841) or COL (p = 0.434), but significantly reduced TDP’s flexural strength (87.55 to 79.79 MPa; p = 0.002), which nevertheless remained significantly higher than those of HEA and COL (p < 0.001). TDP exhibited the highest color change ( \(\:\varDelta\:{E}_{00}\:\) = 3.23), significantly greater than HEA (0.83; p < 0.001) and COL (1.94; p = 0.002), exceeding the perceptibility threshold. While 3D-printed DBRs exhibited comparable SBS and flexural strength to heat-polymerized DBRs after thermocycling, their esthetic durability remains limited under simulated aging.
