Effects of disinfection with a vinegar-hydrogen peroxide mixture on the surface characteristics of denture acrylic resins

ConclusionsThe VHP mixture was not deleterious to conventional and 3D-printed resin surfaces.Clinical relevanceConventional and 3D printed resin dentures can be disinfected with a VHP mixture in a 1:1 ratio because this mixture does not substantially affect the surface characteristics after 90 daily immersions. On the contrary, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and vinegar solutions, even in low concentrations, should be used with caution for denture disinfection because they may alter the resin microtopography over time.
