Abstract :Objective: In this in vitro study, the effect of three denture cleansers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DCs); after immersion in a chemical solution applied to polyetheretherketone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PEEK); and other denture base materials insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DBMs); on long-term water sorption and solubility was compared. Methods: Disk-shaped specimens insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(50±1.0-mm diameter and 0.5±0.1-mm thickness); were prepared from four DBMs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=48);. All specimens were randomly subdivided into four storage media groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12);: Corega tablet insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CT);, Protefix tablet insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PT);, 1% sodium hypochlorite insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NaOCl); solution insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SH);, and control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(distilled water, DW);. Storage media were renewed thrice a day for 120 days and simulated for 1-year use of overnight immersion. Water sorption and solubility insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(µg/mm3); of DBMs before and after immersion in storage media were examined and obtained data were statistically analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance, followed by multiple comparisons by a posthoc Tukey’s test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);. Conclusion: DCs affect PEEK and other DBMs in terms of water sorption and solubility in the long-term follow-up.
