Abstrakt: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) acrylic resin is the most used material in dentistry for making prosthetic devices. The polymerization process can cause material failure, which favors the adhesion of microorganisms and reduces the properties of the acrylic resin in clinical practice. Therefore, the objective of this study was to carry out a systematic review in order to answer the question "What is the relation between porosity, wettability, sorption, and solubility properties of acrylic resins incorporated with antimicrobials?" The electronic search of the articles was carried out in four databases and articles published between 2012 and May 2022 were selected. The search terms were: (("acrylic resin" OR PMMA OR polymethylmethacrylate OR methacrylate) AND (antimicrobial OR antifungal OR antibacterial OR nanoparticle) AND (porosity OR wettability OR "sorption and solubility" OR "microbial adesion")). One thousand three hundred thirty articles were found in the databases, after removing the duplicates, 932 were analyzed by title and abstract, of these, 11 were selected for full reading, of which 06 met the inclusion criteria and were selected for review. After descriptive analysis, it can be concluded that acrylic resins incorporated with antimicrobials can maintain the ideal physicochemical properties for the clinical functioning of the material.
