Abstract

The present paper is focused on analyzing if appropriate adhesion between the polymeric matrix and titania filler nanoparticles is obtained for the PMMA-TiO2 photo-curable dental material, suitable for application in RP - stereolithography (SLA) for complete denture manufacturing. It was found that different amounts, between 0.2% and 2.5 % (w/w%), of added titanium oxide nanoparticles slightly modify the structural behavior of the PMMA polymeric matrix. The material characterization was carried out using FT-IR and microscopy techniques.

Keywords: PMMA -TiO2 functionalized nanocomposite; structural analysis; stereolithography; complete denture
