Nano-particle coated or impregnated acrylic resins in dental applications: A systematic review of in Vivo Evidence on mechanical properties, biocompatibility and clinical performance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acrylic resins are extensively used in prosthodontics, orthodontics and maxillofacial prosthetics due to their ease of fabrication and cost-effectiveness. However, conventional acrylic materials are susceptible to microbial colonization, mechanical deterioration and esthetic compromise. To overcome these limitations, recent research has explored the incorporation of nanoparticles into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based resins to enhance their antimicrobial efficacy, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and long-term durability.

Methods

This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. An extensive literature search was performed across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Embase for studies published up to January 18,
