Purpose: To evaluate the effect of incorporation 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% concentrations titanium oxide, aluminum silica nanoparticles in heat-cured acrylic resin denture base on peel bond strength to a silicone liner. Methods: A total number 100 samples were prepared classified into control group three groups according type nanoparticle. Each was subgroups concentration nanoparticle (n=10). Silico...

A finite element (FE) model of the below-knee residual limb and prosthetic socket was created to investigate the effects of parameter variations on the interface stress distribution during static stance. This model was based upon geometric approximations of anthropometric residual limb geometry. The model was not specific to an individual with amputation, but could be scaled to approximate the ...

Many women use panty liners between menstrual periods. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of such products might influence the vulva skin. Twelve healthy women were studied on four occasions with three different product constructions and on one occasion without products. Temperature, surface wetness and surface pH were measured on vulva skin. Mean skin temperature when the...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM One of the most clinical challenging issues in prosthodontics is debonding of soft liners from the denture base. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare tensile bond strength between soft liner and heat-cured acrylic resin when immersed in two different types of denture cleanser and distilled water, at different period of times. MATERIALS AND METHOD In...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Thermal discomfort often affects prosthesis wearers and could be addressed by increasing liner thermal conductivity. This note explores a liner made from thermally conductive silicone and two additional alternative liner designs. TECHNIQUE Thermally conductive silicone was used to create a conductive liner and a hybrid liner. Additionally, one with open elements was made. T...
