Objective: This study investigated the possible detrimental effects of steam treatment on the surface of
type III dental stone, which is a common laboratory material used for the construction of removable
dentures.
Material and Methods: Forty dental stone specimens were prepared and divided into four groups (A, B,
C and D), and group A was used as the control group. The other groups were treated with steam from a
standard distance for varying durations (30, 60 and 120 s).
Results: The duration of steam cleaning signi?cantly increased Ra values (F = 63.150, p = 0.000). Similarly, the duration of steam application was directly correlated with the weight changes (F = 17.721,
p = 0.000). A signi?cant amount of dental stone can be removed from the surface while treating with
steam.
Conclusion: These studies demonstrated that expanded periods of steam cleaning cause weight loss and
abrade the surface of type III dental stones; therefore, these devices should be used with caution during
denture fabrication procedures.
