Description
False teeth collect slime films that threaten the mouth beneath, and the plastic they are made from decides how much film sticks. Salma Fathy and co-authors compare two denture plastics in a 2023 study, each made by hand packing and by computer milling. Discs of each kind were soaked in a bath carrying tiny particles of a common antiseptic.
The milled acetal discs came out roughest, before the soak and after. Every group grew far less film once coated, and the effect held for nineteen days as the antiseptic leaked out slowly. Before coating, roughness predicted film; after coating, it stopped mattering.
