Abstract

Objective: This study evaluated ginger modified heat cured poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base material regarding; surface roughness, flexural strength, antimicrobial activity, and color stability. Materials and methods: Ginger was used in powder and oil forms to modify the polymer and monomer. Seven experimental groups were formulated; Group (I) control; Group (II) 3 wt% ginger-powder modified polymer; Group (III) 5 wt% ginger-powder modified polymer; Group (IV) 3 v/v% ginger-oil modified monomer; Group (V) 5 v/v% ginger-oil modified monomer; Group (VI) 3 wt% ginger-powder modified polymer mixed with 5 v/v% ginger-oil modified monomer; Group (VII) 5 wt% ginger-powder modified polymer mixed with 3 v/v% ginger-oil modified monomer. Specimens were tested for surface topography, surface roughness, flexural strength, antimicrobial activity, and color stability. The data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA and post-hoc LSD analysis with a significance factor of α = 0.05. Results: The PMMA polymer modified with 3 v/v% ginger-oil (Group IV) exhibited a significant reduction in surface roughness, a significant increase in flexural strength with clinically acceptable color change. No antimicrobial activity was detected for any of the evaluated groups. Conclusions: 3 v/v% ginger-oil was able to improve the mechanical properties of heat cured PMMA denture base resin with a tolerable color change.
