Crossliked plastic denture teeth have been used clinicaly in order to improve the poor wear resistance of conventional acrylic denture teeth. We suggest that highly crosslinked denture teeth are possibly disadvantaged compared with conventional ones, when considering the adhesion to denture base and impact resistance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact resistance of crosslinked...

The effect of different beverages on acrylic resin denture teeth color degradation is evaluated. Ten acrylic resin denture teeth brands were evaluated: Art Plus (AP), Biolux (BX), Biotone IPN (BI), Magister (MG), Mondial 6 (MD), Premium 6 (PR), SR Vivodent PE (SR), Trilux (TR), Trubyte Biotone (TB), and Vipi Dent Plus (VP). Teeth were immersed in staining solutions (coffee, cola, and orange jui...

conclusions coffee caused the most color changes in the examined resin denture teeth. tea and cola left less staining on the teeth, and distilled water caused the least discoloration. generally, investing by heat- and cold-cured acrylic resins can significantly affect the color stability of resin denture teeth; however, heat-cured acrylic resins had fewer color changes. results there were signi...

Techniques for bonding denture teeth to acrylic resin denture base remains empirical, with little consensus from the literature, among clinicians or among dental laboratories. Despite of this great variation, the data available regarding effectiveness of various methods used are sparse. The study was carried out to compare the effect of different surface treatments of ridge lap area of acrylic ...

AIM To evaluate the effect of successive cycles of disinfection in different denture cleansers on the surface roughness and the Vickers hardness of two layers of acrylic resin (base-BL and enamel-EL) of two commercial cross-linked artificial teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal surfaces of 60 acrylic resin denture posterior teeth (Trilux-TLX and SR Orthosit PE-SRO) embedded in autopolyme...

Fabricating an esthetically pleasing removable partial denture while avoiding the unsightly display associated with conventional clasp assemblies presented a challenge to dentists. Among other techniques, this could be done using acetal resin clasps as simple and effective means of improving removable partial denture esthetics.1 Patients often cite lack of retention and poor esthetics as reason...

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcome of removable partial dentures (RPDs) designed to minimize denture mobility during function. Using archived files of the undergraduate program between 2003 and 2005 at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, a list of 169 patients treated with 184 RPDs was created. The RPDs had either an acrylic resin-base or a cobalt-chrome framework-ba...

The wear resistance of denture teeth is important for the longevity of removable prostheses of edentulous patients. The ability of denture teeth to maintain maximum intercuspation at centric jaw relation position, masticatory efficiency, the occlusal vertical dimension, and occlusal stability over time may be influenced by this property. Inferior wear resistance of acrylic resin artificial teet...

Single complete denture opposing natural dentition is a common occurrence in clinical practice. This article reports a case of a single complete denture with a technique of occlusal refinement by functionally generated amalgam stops condensed in prepared resin teeth after initial balancing of the denture with semi-adjustable articulator. This technique provides intimacy of contact in all excurs...
