Purpose: The aim of the paper was to investigate the antifungal activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) against Candida albicans. Some attempts have been made to find out the best way to introduce ZnONPs into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin material and to determine some parameters of a newly formed composite. Material and methods: Zinc oxide nanoparticles were manufactured and their basic physical parameters were determined (average particle size, density, specific surface area). Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ZnONPs was determined for the Candida albicans standard strain. The average size of ZnO conglomerates in the monomer solution of PMMA resin was measured using a dynamic light scattering instrument. PMMA resin samples with incorporated ZnONPs were produced. The morphology of nanopowder and the newly formed composite was examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In addition, the roughness parameter of PMMA resin material was investigated before and after ZnONPs modification. Results: Nanopowder with the average particle size of 30 nm, density of 5.24 g/cm3 and surface area of 39 m2 /g was obtained. MIC was determined at the level of 0.75 mg/mL. The average size of ZnO conglomerates in the monomer solution of acrylic resin dropped by 11 times after ultrasound activation. SEM examination of a newly formed composite showed a successful introduction of ZnONPs confirmed by the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. There were no statistically significant differences in the biomaterial roughness before and after the modification of ZnONPs. Conclusion: Zinc oxide nanoparticles were successfully incorporated into acrylic resin used for the production of denture bases. The presence of nanoparticles with sizes below 100 nm was confirmed. Nevertheless a newly created composite needs to be further investigated to improve its homogeneity, and to check its microbiological properties, strength and biocompatibility prior to its possible clinical use.

W pracy porównano nasiąkliwość i porowatość wybranych tworzyw akrylowych stosowanych w wykonawstwie płyt ruchomych protez zębowych. W badaniach wykorzystano próbki sześciu szeroko dostępnych na rynku polskim tworzyw akrylowych. Materiały wytworzono trzema różnymi metodami polimeryzacji w zależności od typu tworzywa. Nasiąkliwość tworzyw oznaczono na podstawie normy PN-EN ISO 62. Porowatość określono przy użyciu rentgenowskiej tomografii komputerowej (Computed Tomography - CT). Powierzchnię tworzyw przed i po polerowaniu poddano obserwacjom mikroskopowym przy użyciu skaningowego mikroskopu elektronowego (Scanning Electron Microscope - SEM). Przeprowadzone badania wykazały różnicę w nasiąkliwości wytworzonych materiałów. Tworzywa charakteryzują się niewielką porowatością lub całkowitym jej brakiem. Wykazano, iż polerowanie znacząco wpływa na nasiąkliwość materiałów oraz zmniejsza rozwinięcie powierzchni.

In this study porosity and absorbability of acrylic resins were compared. These polymeric materials are used in dental prosthodontics in order to perform bases of dentures. Six types of popular acrylic were examined. Samples were produced using three different methods of polymerization, corresponding to resin type. Absorbability of acrylic resins was examined according to PN-EN ISO 62 standard. Porosity of acrylic resins was examined using Computed Tomography (CT). Surface of acrylic samples was observed on Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) before and after polishing. Results show that there is a difference in absorbability of acrylic resins. Samples are characterized by low porosity or even lack of porosity. It was demonstrated, that polishing affect perceptibly on absorbability and significantly decreases surface area.
