A biomechanical reinforcement of PMMA denture base material with sericin and fibroin: A preliminary screening study

CONCLUSION: The addition of 0.01% sericin and 0.01% each of sericin and fibroin to PMMA denture-based resin material significantly increases its flexural and impact strengths. These preliminary findings suggest the potential of sericin and fibroin as effective reinforcing agents in PMMA denture base materials, thereby enhancing their biomechanical properties.PMID:38393865 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231772
