Abstract

The hardness of long-term soft-liner material was evaluated after disinfection by microwave irradiation. thirty specimens of the long-term soft liner were made and divided into three groups: the first two groups which are daily disinfected by microwave (5min .15min /650W) the third group control (without disinfection) hardness measurements were made after 15 days of disinfection differences between groups were analyzed using one-way Anova test (p<0.05). Result shows that a high mean value for the surface hardness of long term soft liner after exposing to microwave disinfection for 15 min, and a low mean value without exposing to microwave disinfection (control group). Hardness of long-term soft liner material was adversely affected by microwave disinfection.
