| Abstract: | Statement of problem Maxillofacial elastomers undergo physical and mechanical degradation with disinfecting solutions. Solutions of Brazilian green propolis extract may be suitable alternatives for infection control of maxillofacial prostheses. However, their effects on the properties of the material are unknown. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of disinfection with solutions of Brazilian green propolis extract on the transmittance, translucency parameter, contrast ratio, and hardness of 2 maxillofacial elastomers (MDX4-4210 and MED-4014). Material and methods Fifty disk-shaped specimens (3×10 mm) of each elastomer were randomly and equally divided into 4 groups of disinfectant agents and 1 control group: 3 separate groups of 11% green propolis extracts including aqueous (PAQ), glycolic (PGL), and alcoholic (PAL), a 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) group, and the control group of distilled water. Specimens were subjected to disinfection by immersion 3 times a week for 60 days. Color differences (ΔE values) were calculated with CIELab and CIEDE2000 formulas. Optical parameters and Shore A hardness were determined at 2 time points: at baseline and after the period of specimen disinfection. Data were analyzed by parametric and nonparametric analysis of variance and by multiple-comparison tests (α=.05). Results The ΔE values of specimens immersed in 11% PAL were not clinically acceptable for either elastomer. Regarding translucency parameter and contrast ratio, the immersion in 11% PAL and 11% PGL resulted in greater opacity and lower translucency of the material. Mean Shore A hardness values were not statistically significantly different at baseline or after 60 days of immersion in the solutions. Conclusions The solution of Brazilian green propolis extract tested showed changes in optical parameters. Elastomers immersed in 11% alcoholic green propolis extract showed clinically unacceptable color and translucency changes. All hardness values of the tested elastomers were clinically acceptable after immersion in all tested disinfectant groups |
