Objectives: This study aimed to investigate dentinal crack rate following parapulpal pin insertion in anterior primary teeth. Methods: Thirteen sound freshly extracted primary canine teeth were horizontally sectioned 1 mm above the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). All samples were thoroughly inspected to ensure that the teeth had no cracks. The teeth were then mounted in acrylic blocks...

Aim: To find out the effect of monomer application for different time periods on tensile bond strength heat cured denture base resin and acrylic teeth. Methodology: Ninety specimens were fabricated as per ADA standards No 15 divided into 3 groups through purposive sampling technique. In Group 1 was applied teeth just before material packed. 2 10 seconds in 60 seconds. Universal testing machine ...

One of the reconstructive choices for the completely edentulous patient is the placement of multiple implants and the fabrication of a fixed implant-supported complete denture. These patients experience an improvement in masticatory performance over patients who wear complete dentures. The fixed-implant complete denture consists of a metal bar with acrylic resin and denture teeth connected to i...

Figure 1. Fractured maxillary metal-resin fixed complete-arch implantsupported prosthesis. Patient had been treated by another provider and did not have interim or conversion prosthesis. Complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses are known to be an excellent solution for edentulism. Although new, stronger materials have evolved, the metal-resin prosthesis using a combination of cast or mi...

AIM The purpose of this article is to report the clinical course of a 12-year-old child with ectodermal dysplasia who was treated with an implant-supported overdenture for the mandible and an overdenture for the maxilla. CASE REPORT Two dental implants were placed in the canine regions of the mandible. The maxillary teeth were prepared for the milled copings. Because the preparation of parall...

PURPOSE To assess the effect of brushing with different solutions on the abrasion resistance of two types of acrylic resin teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Maxillary premolars from two types of acrylic teeth (Biotone and Biotone IPN) were divided into six groups (n = 12), according to the solution used during brushing: distilled water (control), coconut soap, or dentifrice. A mechanical brushing ...

PATIENT The patient was a 48-year-old partially edentulous male with microstomia. His chief complaints were masticatory disturbance and aesthetic problems caused by missing teeth. After trayless impressions for diagnostic casts were made, sectional trays and a sectional record block were used for the definitive impression and maxillomandibular registration. Maxillary and mandibular acrylic sect...

Present study aimed to improve the bond strength of denture teeth acrylic resin base by chemical or mechanical modification on bonding surface teeth. Total 40 artificial central incisors and lateral were divided into five groups: group I, 8 samples without (control group); II, (bonding treated with monomer); III, monomer glaze layer removed aluminum oxide stone bur); IV, acetone); V, (acetone a...
