The Impacts of Nano Barium Titanate on The Radiopacity and Surface Roughness of 3D-Printed Acrylic Denture Base

الملخص

The creation of three dimensional (3D)-printed denture base was made possible by the advent of additive manufacturing technology. This research intends to test the effect of inclusion barium titanate nanoparticles (BaTiO₃NPs) at different weight percentages on the radiopacity and surface roughness of 3D-printable denture bases. Three groups were created: a control group, 0.5 wt.%, and 1 wt.% BaTiO₃NPs. Every sample was tested for surface roughness utilizing contact profilometer and atomic force microscope (AFM), and the radiopacity by measuring optical density using transmission densitometer. Adding BaTiO₃NPs to 3D-printable resin improved the radiopacity and decreased the surface roughness of the modified groups.
