| Abstract | ||
| Background: The main disadvantage of soft liners is the low thermal conductivity between the denture base and soft liner material. Aim: The present study aims to estimate the impact of adding virgin coconut oil (1.5% vol and 2.5% vol) to a soft acrylic liner material in a thermal conductivity test. Material and Methods: For this project, we did 30 pieces of acrylic soft liner material. The specimens were divided into three groups: 10 control group specimens that only contained the soft liner material, 10 specimens mixed with virgin coconut oil at a volume of 1.5% with the soft liner material, and 10 specimens mi xed with virgin coconut oil at a volume of 2.5% with the soft liner material. Equipment in the Technologies, Department used to conduct thermal conductivity tests. 40mm diameter and 2.5mm thickness thermal conductivity sp ecimens were prepared. Results: Using static analysis, data showed that the soft liner with the highest t hermal conductivity contained virgin coconut oil at a volume of 2.5% compared to the soft liner containing virgin coconut oil at a volume of 1.5%, and the control group, the res ults revealed p < 0.01. Conclusion: Thermal conductivity is increased when virgin coconut oil (2.5% by volume) is incorporated into the soft acrylic liner material. | ||
