Color Stability, Physical Properties and Antifungal Effects of ZrO<sub>2</sub> Additions to Experimental Maxillofacial Silicones: Comparisons with TiO<sub>2</sub>

Color Stability, Physical Properties and Antifungal Effects of ZrO<sub>2</sub> Additions to Experimental Maxillofacial Silicones: Comparisons with TiO<sub>2</sub>

(1) Background: Color changes, physical degradation, and fungal infections are challenges to the longevity of maxillofacial polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers. This study aimed to evaluate color changes, physical properties, and antifungal properties of PDMS loaded with ZrO<sub>2</sub&g...
