Nylon denture base material (Lucitone FRS) was studied for its mechanical properties. The study confirmed that flexible denture base material has lower values in terms of hardness.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Clinical studies comparing the retention values of milled denture bases with those of conventionally processed denture bases are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the retention values of conventional heat-polymerized denture bases with those of digitally milled maxillary denture bases. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty individuals with complet...

Objective: Polyhexanide (PHMB; polyhexamethylene biguanide) is a well-known antiseptic agent; however, no data exist for its applicationon denture base and lining materials. In the present in vitro study, aim was to compare viable bacterial or fungal cell numbers theiradhesion on different types of materials diverse concentrations PHMB.Methods: Light-activated urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), he...

background : denture fracture is an unresolved problem in complete denture prosthodontics. however, the repaired denture often experiences a refracture at the repaired site due to poor transverse strength. hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of joint surface contoursand glass fiber reinforcement on the transverse strength of repaired acrylic resins. materials and methods: a t...

UNLABELLED In order to prolong the clinical longevity of resilient denture relining materials and reduce plaque accumulation, incorporation of antimicrobial agents into these materials has been proposed. However, this addition may affect their properties. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of the addition of antimicrobial agents into one soft liner (Soft Confort, Dencril) on its peel b...

PURPOSE Denture survival, or the time between the date of a denture's insertion and the date of its renewal for any clinical reason, was assessed in this retrospective study on 353 complete dentures. The procedures required to prolong the useful time of the study sample-relines, repair of denture base fractures, or replacement of lost artificial teeth-were also evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

UNLABELLED Provision of partial and complete dentures constructed from resin is commonplace and a satisfactory outcome requires the consideration of the properties of the resin, the oral tissues and prosthodontic principles. This second of a two-part series examines the advantages and disadvantages of flexible nylon denture base resins, which have found popularity for the provision of partial d...
