BACKGROUND The impact strength of denture base resin is of great concern and many approaches have been made to strengthen acrylic resin dentures. The objective of this study was to compare the impact strength of the denture base resin with and without reinforcement and to evaluate the impact strength of denture base resin when reinforced with stainless steel mesh, glass fiber, and polyethylene ...

The purpose of this study is to compare the flexural strength values of four different methods for chair side direct transfer methods of implant housing. Materials and Methods: Sixty heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate denture blocks were prepared of size 11 (±0.5) x 8 (±0.5) x 38(±0.5) mm. At the centre a hole of 5mmx8mm dimension was made to secure the implant housing.The Implant Housings were ...

BACKGROUND The utilization of computer-assisted designing and computer-assisted milling CAD\CAM resins in the fabrication of removable prostheses is a modern-day concept that offers many advantages over the use of the traditional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). AIM This study instigated some of the mechanical properties of CAD\CAM denture base resin including the amount of residual monomer. ...

Acrylic resin denture base material has been available to the dental profession for over 60 years, and although materials with superior properties have on market some time, it still remains most popular choice of clinicians. The requirement simple processing equipment low cost fabrication process are reasons its continued popularity. However, debonding acrylic teeth from resins a problem both p...

Background: The choice of connector lies between plate, a bar or a combination of bars, which may cross the palate in various positions. Many opinions have been expressed concerning the acceptability to the patients of the various forms of palatal connectors but there have been few investigations. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare subjective patients’ reactions to three maxillary ...

Effect of glazing with an ultraviolet light-activated coating material on reduction of the leaching of methyl methacrylate and formaldehyde from denture acrylic resins was quantitatively evaluated. Disks prepared from auto-polymerized resins were painted with the material and radiated with ultraviolet light. The disks were immersed in artificial saliva and the concentrations of methyl methacryl...
