Abstract

Aim: To investigate the effect of different drinks on the surface roughness and weight loss of custom-made mouthguard material prepared in two different thicknesses.
Materials and Methods: The custom-made mouthguard material Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) (4.0x125 mm) was used in the current research. 102 rectangular prism specimens (8 × 8 mm) from two different thickness (3 and 4 mm) were prepared. They were randomly divided into four different groups (n=13), numbered, and initial weight and roughness measurements were recorded. All specimens were then stored in 4 different drinks, including 2 different energy drinks, an isotonic sports drink, and water. At the end of the 7-day and 28-day periods, weight and roughness measurements of the specimens were again performed and recorded. The data were analyzed the repeated measures ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and the paired sample t tests (α=.05).
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the weight × beverage and roughness × beverage interactions (p>0.05) both weight and roughness changes of specimens at 0, 7, and 28 days.
Conclusion: Energy drinks and sports drinks have no effect on the surface liquid and weight of the specially produced oral material.

Enerji İçeceklerinin Kişiye Özel Üretilen Mouthguard Materyalinin Yüzey Pürüzlülüğü ve Ağırlık Kaybı Üzerindeki Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, iki farklı kalınlıkta hazırlanan kişiye özel mouthguard malzemesinin yüzey pürüzlülüğü ve ağırlık kaybı üzerine farklı içeceklerin etkisini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada özel yapım ağızlık malzemesi Etilen vinil asetat (EVA) (4,0x125 mm) kullanılmıştır. İki farklı kalınlıkta (3 ve 4 mm) 102 dikdörtgen prizma numunesi (8 × 8 mm) hazırlanmıştır. Numuneler daha sonra rastgele dört gruba ayrılmış (n=13), numaralandırılmış ve ilk ağırlık ve pürüzlülük ölçümleri kaydedilmiştir. Tüm numuneler daha sonra 2 farklı enerji içeceği, bir izotonik spor içeceği ve su olmak üzere 4 farklı içecekte saklanmıştır. 7 günlük ve 28 günlük sürelerin sonunda numunelerin ağırlık ve pürüzlülük ölçümleri tekrar yapılmış ve kaydedilmiştir. Veriler tekrarlanan ölçümler ANOVA, tek yönlü ANOVA ve eşleştirilmiş örneklem t testleri ile analiz edilmiştir (α=,05).
Bulgular: Ağırlık × içecek ve pürüzlülük × içecek etkileşimlerinde (p>0,05) 0, 7 ve 28. günlerde numunelerin hem ağırlık hem de pürüzlülük değişimlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır.
Sonuç: Enerji içecekleri ve spor içeceklerinin özel olarak üretilen ağız materyalinin yüzey sıvısı ve ağırlığı üzerinde herhangi bir etkisi yoktur.
