Specimen grouping and specifications.

Groups according to treated side	Code	Treatment specifications
No treatment	Control	Untreated heat-polymerized denture base material
Base (B)	B-AB^(1)	Denture base material treated with alumina airborne abrasion
	B-AB + SCA^(2)	Denture base material treated with alumina airborne abrasion and SCA
Teeth (T)	T-AB	Teeth treated with alumina airborne abrasion
	T-AB + SCA	Teeth treated with alumina airborne abrasion and SCA
Base + teeth (BT)	BT-AB	Denture base material and teeth treated with alumina airborne abrasion
