Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oxygen plasma treatment on the tensile bond strength of a silicone-based soft liner to a thermocycled denture base. Methods: 2 10×10×1 mm heat-polymerized acrylic resin blocks for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis were prepared (one served as control, and another treated by oxygen plasma for 4 min). 30 (10×10×1 mm) acrylic resin blocks for contact angle measurement and 80 (8×10×30 mm) for tensile test were also prepared and equally divided into five groups: a control group and four experimental groups (exposure to oxygen plasma for 1min, 2 min, 3 min and 4 min, respectively). All blocks were thermocycled (5-55°C, 5000 cycles) before oxygen plasma treatment. After oxygen plasma treatment, the .. View More»
