Characteristics of denture thermoplastic resins for non-metal clasp dentures.

Color stability, water sorption and cytotoxicity of thermoplastic acrylic resin for non metal clasp denture

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the color stability, water sorption and cytotoxicity of thermoplastic acrylic resin for the non-metal clasp dentures to those of thermoplastic polyamide and conventional heat-polymerized denture base resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three types of denture base resin, which are conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Paladent 20), thermoplastic po...

Evaluation of adhesion of reline resins to the thermoplastic denture base resin for non-metal clasp denture.

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...

Metal-free Removable Partial Dentures made of a Thermoplastic Acetal Resin and Two Polyamide Resins

Wear resistance of injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins

Objective This study investigated the wear resistance of injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins using nanoindentation instrument. Materials and methods Six injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins (two polyamides, two polyesters, one polycarbonate, one polymethylmethacrylate [PMMA]) and a PMMA conventional heat-polymerized denture-based polymer control were tested. Elastic...

Alternative Technologies for Dentures Manufacturing using Different Types of Resins

In the idea of improving the performances of both full and removable partial dentures, new materials and technologies are coming on the market, promising a better quality. Thermoplastic materials are used more and more widely in the technology of complete or removable partial dentures due to their superior qualities. Thermoplastic resins are suitable for manufacturing a wide range of removable ...
