Introduction: Detachment of denture teeth from denture base is one of the most common reasons for costly denture repairs .This study aimed at evaluating the bond strength of an acrylic denture tooth to polyamide injection-molded thermoplastic denture base material compared with three conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resins. Materials and Method: A total of 40 acrylic dent...

Implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses have been associated with a high implant success rate in long-term studies. However, they have also been associated with a high frequency of prosthetic complications. The most frequent and primary prosthetic complication has been the fracture or wear of the occlusal surface of acrylic resin teeth that are typically attached to a metal framework...

Background and Aim: The hardness and wear resistance of denture teeth have great importance in the longevity of dentures. This study assessed the effect of 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and alcohol-free Listerine on the microhardness of acrylic denture teeth. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, 26 Major Plus teeth were randomly divided into three groups for immersion in 0.2%...

Background: The debonding of acrylic teeth from the denture base is a challenging problem to the dentist and dental technician in which special means must be done to increase the debonding strength of the tooth. Material and method: Sixty specimens of acrylic central incisors were attached to acrylic rods and grouped into 5 groups according to the shape of the retention means placed at the toot...

background: the second processing cycle for adding the artificial teeth to heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture bases may result in dimensional changes of the denture bases. the aim of thisstudy was to evaluate the dimensional changes of the heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture bases with one and two-cycle processing methods. materials and methods: a metal edentulous maxillary arch was used...

The purpose of this study is to compare the shear bond strength of different resin bases and artificial teeth made of ceramic or acrylic resin materials and whether tooth-base interface may be treated with aluminium oxide sandblasting. Experimental measurements were carried on 80 specimens consisting of a cylinder of acrylic resin into which a single tooth is inserted. An ad hoc metallic frame ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of four different ratios of silanized mica filler and milled glass fiber on the surface hardness of an acrylic denture tooth material. Acrylic resin disks made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) used in fabrication of denture teeth were used as the control group. Eight test groups were prepared by adding a ratio of 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% by wei...

Brushing is the most common cleansing method employed on complete dentures and it may damage the integrity of acrylic resin, the main component of this type of prosthesis. This study evaluated the abrasion resistance of artificial teeth with different number of acrylic layers, and the abrasiveness of specific and non-specific dentifrices for denture cleaning. The abrasion test was conducted by ...

background: debonding of denture teeth from denture bases is the most common failure in removable dentures. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatments on shear bond strength of denture teeth to heat-polymerized and autopolymerized denture base resins. materials and methods: in this experimental in vitro study, 60 maxillary central incisor acrylic teeth were divid...
