statement of problem: acrylic teeth of dentures are prone to discoloration due to frequent exposure to different colouring solutions in the oral environment. thus, in order to maintain their aesthetic appearance, they must possess high colour stability while exposed to colorant solutions. objectives: to compare the colour stability of three different brands of acrylic teeth following immersion ...

Harold Vernon first introduced acrylic polymers as denture base materials in 1937. A survey showed that 33% of denture repairs were to restore debonded teeth.1 Factors that affect the bonding of acrylic resin teeth to the denture base are dewaxing procedures, residual wax on ridge laps of teeth,2 and careless application separating media like sodium alginate to the teeth, leading to contaminati...

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...

BACKGROUND Acrylic teeth have long been used in the treatment of a complete denture. One of the primary advantages of acrylic teeth is their ability to adhesively bond to the denture base resins. Although the bonding seems satisfactory, however, bond failures at the acrylic teeth and denture base resin interface are still a common clinical problem in prosthodontics. The purpose of this study wa...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the two-body wear resistance of different artificial denture teeth when opposed to steatite ceramic balls in a dual-axis chewing simulator. METHODS Artificial denture teeth including the ceramic tooth Bonartic CT, the composite resin tooth Condyloform II NFC, the acrylic resin teeth Bonartic TCR, Orthognath, Polystar Selection, SR Orthotyp DCL, and Vitapan Cuspiform, an...

statement of problem: the effect of porcelain surface on the antagonist acrylic teeth has not been widely studied. objectives: this study aimed to investigate the effect of polished porcelain, glazed porcelain, and natural teeth (as the control group) on the acrylic resin teeth. materials and methods: in this experimental-laboratory study, a total of 60 specimens of glazed and polished porcelai...
