Effect of chemical disinfectants and accelerated aging on maxillofacial silicone elastomers: An In vitro Study

Conclusions: The maxillofacial silicone elastomers presented deterioration in color, hardening, and significant variations in surface roughness when subjected to chemical disinfection and accelerated aging, which provides a valid baseline for future research.
