Background. Acrylic resins used in restorative dentistry are the most popular denture base material, because they have good optical properties and small solubility in body fluids. However their mechanical properties are limited and therefore acrylic resins require different methods of reinforcement one of which can be application of different kinds of fibers. Objectives. To investigate the effe...

OBJECTIVE Chemical solutions have been widely used for disinfection of dentures, but their effect on color stability of denture tooth acrylic resins after repeated procedures is still unclear. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate whether repeated cycles of chemical disinfectants affected the color stability of two denture tooth acrylic resins. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty disc-shaped ...

This study aimed to evaluate the tensile and transverse bond strength of chairside reline resins (Tokuyama Rebase II, Mild Rebaron LC) to a thermoplastic acrylic resin (Acrytone) used for non metal clasp denture. The results were compared with those of a conventional heat polymerized acrylic resin (Paladent 20) and a thermoplastic polyamide resin (Biotone). The failure sites were examined by sc...

Denture base dimensional changes were found with commercial thermocured acrylic resins. Fifteen stone cast-wax base sets were packed for routine flasking. Clássico, Vipcril, and Meliodent Multicryl acrylic resins were prepared according to manufacturer instructions. After final acrylic resin pressing, the flasks were placed in strain clamps and submitted to polymerization cycles in heat-water f...

o bjectives: heat-polymerized acrylic resin has been the most commonly used denture base material for over 60 years. however, the mechanical strength of acrylic resin is not adequate for long-term clinical performance of dentures. consequently, fracture is a com- mon clinical occurrence, which often occurs in the midline of denture base.this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cold cure and...

failure of soft liners depends mostly on separation from the denture base resin; therefore measurement of the bond strength is very important. the purpose of this study was to compare the tensile bond strength of two soft liners (acropars, molloplast-b) to denture base resin before and after thermocycling.twenty specimens fromeach of the two different soft liners were processed according to the...

The addition of different polymers, such as polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), to denture base resins could be an option to modify acrylic resin mechanical properties. This study evaluated the surface hardness, impact and flexural strength, flexural modulus and peak load of 2 acrylic resins, one subjected to a long and another subjected to a short polymerization cycle, which were prepared with or w...

introduction: denture stomatitis is a common complication in patients wearing dentures and preventing the proliferation of related microorganisms and their induced infections is noteworthy. the aim of the present study was to assess the antimicrobial effect of acrylic resins containing various concentrations of silver nanoparticles, on candida albicans and streptococcus mutans. materials and me...

Chemical structures of photocured acrylic ester resins were characterized using specific decomposition techniques such as pyrolysis-gas chromatography in the presence of organic alkali and matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry combined with super critical methanolysis. The resultant products formed through specific cleavage at the ester linkages in the cured resin samples...

Objectives Acrylic resins are one of the most important denture base materials in dentistry due to their favourable mechanical and physical properties. The purpose of present study is to compare 4 available acrylic flexural strength properties before and after thermocycling. Methods Acrylic resin specimens of Meliodent (Heraeus Kulzer, Hanau, Germany), Vertex (Vertex-dental BV, Zeist, Netherla...
