Effect of Neutral Soap cleansing on Color Stability of Scleral Acrylic Prosthesis fabricated by Conventional Heat Cure Method and CAD CAM Method: An In-Vitro Study.
Keywords:
Ocular prosthesis, Color stability, CAD CAM methodAbstract
AIM: The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the color stability of scleral ocular prosthesis fabricated by conventional heat cure method and CAD CAM method after cleansing with neutral soap.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: 20 Samples were made to simulate the scleral ocular prosthesis, out of which 10 were fabricated by conventional heat cure method and the other 10 by CAD CAM method. The samples were subjected to neutral soap cleansing. The color measurements were recorded after 180 and 360 days using Digital reflectance spectrophotometer.
RESULTS: Clinical and Statistically significant difference was found in the color stability of scleral ocular prosthesis fabricated by conventional heat cure method and CAD CAM method. CAD CAM method of fabrication showed greater color stability when compared to the conventional heat cure method.
CONCLUSION: CAD CAM method of fabrication scleral ocular prosthesis is more color stable than heat cure method.
