Method of forming a denture stomatitis reduction device

A method of forming a denture for reducing denture stomatitis, comprising:

• conforming a first viscous monomer composition into a dental mold;
• then
• conforming a second viscous monomer composition into the dental mold over the first viscous monomer composition, then
• polymerizing the first and second viscous monomer compositions in the dental mold, thereby forming an antibacterial denture;
• then
• fitting a patient having a dental appliance with the antibacterial denture;
• wherein the antibacterial denture has a polished cameo surface and an unpolished intaglio surface made of a dental restoration base material,
• wherein the dental restoration base material comprises:
• a first layer comprising at least 90 wt. %, relative to total first layer weight, of a cured first composition comprising, prior to curing, a first (meth)acrylic polymer and a first (meth)acrylic monomer as the cameo surface of the antibacterial denture;
• and
• a surface layer comprising at least 90 wt. %, relative to total surface layer weight, of a cured second composition comprising, prior to curing, a second (meth)acrylic polymer, a second (meth)acrylic monomer as the intaglio surface of the antibacterial denture, 0.45 to 0.55 wt. % of antimicrobial nanoparticles, relative to a total surface layer weight, wherein the surface layer has a thickness of 0.2 to 2 mm,
• wherein no gradient in antimicrobial nanoparticle content and no continuous bulk containing the antimicrobial nanoparticles is present between the first and surface layers,
• wherein the first layer is free of the antimicrobial nanoparticles,
• wherein the antimicrobial nanoparticles are selected from silver nanoparticles and zirconium dioxide nanoparticles, and
• wherein the material has a flexural strength in a range of 78 to 87 MPa, a translucency parameter in a range of 6.5 to 13, and a surface roughness in a range of 0.13 to 0.2 μm.
