Experiments conducted to test sorption and solubility as well as specifications. Excessive heat production can burn the surface of the samples or cause them to deform. The value did not play an active role in determining the sorption and solubility of the samples, but it had to be recorded to calculate the conditional mass of the samples.
Once all the samples reached a conditioned mass, the volume of the conditioned samples was calculated and recorded as V. The mass and volume of the samples were the two variables used to determine the outcome of the study. This variable played no active role in determining the sorption and solubility of the samples, but had to be recorded to calculate the conditioned mass of the sample.
These data were then used to calculate the absorption and solubility of the samples using the formulas provided by the ISO standard E) (see section 3.7.4, above). To ensure the reliability of the study, ISO E) requirements for absorption and solubility testing were strictly followed. This study strictly followed the well-established international standards of ISO E) requirements for calculating the absorption and solubility of denture base materials.

- Conclusion
To accept or reject hypothesis one, it was necessary to compare the sorption and solubility results of the uncoated samples soaked in distilled water with those soaked in artificial saliva. To accept or reject hypothesis two, it was necessary to compare the sorption and solubility results of the samples that were mechanically polished and soaked in distilled water with those that did not receive any surface treatment soaked in distilled water. To accept or reject hypothesis three, it was necessary to compare the sorption and solubility results of the samples that were mechanically polished and soaked in artificial saliva with those that did not receive any surface treatment soaked in artificial saliva.
Thus, mechanical polishing had the same positive effect on the solubility of the specimens soaked in artificial saliva as on the specimens soaked in distilled water. In summary, mechanical polishing reduced the solubility of the material in both distilled water and artificial saliva compared to the samples that received no surface treatment. To accept or reject hypothesis five, it was necessary to compare the sorption and solubility results of the samples treated with an Optiglaze™ light-curing varnish soaked in distilled water with those that had not been surface treated soaked in distilled water.
This study showed that the use of Optiglaze™ had the same positive effect on the sorption of the samples soaked in artificial saliva as it had on the samples soaked in distilled water. Objective seven was established to determine which surface treatment results in the least sorption and solubility of the Vertex™ Rapid Simplified denture base material. The Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparison Test indicated that the lower solubility values recorded by the samples soaked in artificial saliva were statistically significant compared to the values of the samples soaked in distilled water.

- Overall Conclusions
Objectives 1 and 2 were designed to determine the absorption and solubility of heat treated acrylic without surface treatment soaked in distilled water and artificial saliva. Specimens soaked in artificial saliva recorded lower absorption and solubility values than specimens soaked in distilled water. Objective three was designed to determine the effect of mechanical polishing on the absorption and solubility of heat-dried acrylic soaked in distilled water.
The samples that were mechanically polished and soaked in distilled water recorded lower average sorption and solubility values than the sample group that did not receive any surface treatment soaked in distilled water. Objective four was established to determine the effect of mechanical polishing on the sorption and solubility of heat-set acrylic soaked in artificial saliva. Objective five was set to determine the effect of a light-cured varnish on the sorption and solubility of heat-cured acrylic soaked in distilled water.
Objective six was established to determine the effect of a light-cured varnish on the sorption and solubility of heat-cured acrylic soaked in artificial saliva. Finally, objective eight was established to determine which medium results in the least sorption and solubility of heat-cured acrylic. The samples soaked in artificial saliva recorded lower sorption and solubility values than the samples soaked in distilled water, but only the reduction in solubility was considered statistically significant.
Limitations
Contribution to research
Recommendations
Both surface treatments tested in this study reduced the absorption or solubility of heat-treated acrylic. Further research to determine the effect of these surface treatments on the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of the prosthesis base material—such as stiffness, flexural strength, dimensional stability, surface roughness, and biocompatibility—will be of considerable value. Studies have shown that light varnishes with different compositions can exhibit different absorption and solubility properties.
Further research to determine the effect that different types of light lacquers may have on the absorption and solubility of denture base materials may indicate which light lacquer products are optimal in terms of reducing the absorption and solubility of heat-cured acrylic. Since mechanical polishing and the application of Optiglaze™ light varnish have been considered viable surface treatment options for heat-curing denture base material, future researchers could investigate the durability of these treatments by evaluating their surface roughness degradation with the passage of time. . ISO recommends that the absorption and solubility of the heat-treated denture base material be calculated after a seven-day immersion period.
Therefore, it is recommended that future research be conducted to determine the long-term effects of surface treatments and medium composition on the absorption and solubility of denture base materials. This study found that the solubility of heat-cured acrylic was significantly lower when soaked in artificial saliva over a seven-day period. Based on the results of this study, Optiglaze™ light-cured lacquer can be recommended as an alternative surface treatment to mechanical glazing or used in conjunction with it since the absorption and solubility levels recorded were within the limits set by ISO.
