Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of physical and chemical agents on tensile bond strength of soft liner to the PMMA. Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of Diode laser and Ethyl acetate treatments on the bond strengths of acrylic resin to silicon liners. Materials and methods: Heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Acralyn-H) was bonded to silicone softliner material (GC Reline II Soft) to create control specimens (n=22), Diode laser treatment (n=22), and Ethyl acetate treatment (n=22). Silicone liner was polymerized on resin specimens.
