Abstract
Clasp wire is one of the important components in partial denture acrylic which serves as a retention. After the use of denture everyday, patient is advised to always clean it. Cleaning of denture by immersing in a solution of denture cleanser which containing organic acids in long term may be cause corrosion. While corrosion can resulted changes in mechanical properties, among others, a reduction in tensile strength of stainless steel. The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of immersion clasp wire of stainless steel on denture cleanser solution to its tensile strength and to know how far the influence of quality of clasp wire of stainless steel on the market for its tensile strength. Method is laboratory experimental (double-blind), the study is 3 brands of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.6 mm on the market (good quality, medium and low), the specimen was 30, then each group was divided into 2 groups again based on type of treatment, which is immersed in a solution without a denture cleanser and for 7 days at room temperature (28ºC) and same volume. Measurement of tensile strength was performed with a Universal Testing Machine. The ANOVA test (p<0.05) obtained tensile strength significantly different group of good quality with moderate and low groups, while the test results the T-test (p<0.05) tensile strength values obtained no significant difference between the immersed without denture cleanser and with denture cleanser.
