| Abstract | ||
| Background: Duran foil, a type of Biostar foil, is utilized in splint therapy as a heat-cure acrylic substitute material. The Duran® gained popularity and broad use, and its strength and resilience to wear are its most important qualities that improve splint therapy.This study aimed to investigate the surface roughness and fracture strength of heat-cured acrylic resin and Biostar sheets. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 samples—10 heat-cured acrylic resin samples and 10 biostar sheet samples—were produced and split into two groups in order to measure fracture strength and surface roughness. Results: The fracture strength of biostar samples had the lowest fracture strength. The surface roughness of the biostar samples was also less than that of the acrylic samples. There were statistically significant differences between the study groups.Conclusion Duran Biostar is regarded as the material of first choice for removable orthodontic retainers due to its suitable mechanical properties. | ||
