The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fabrication of a complete denture using a CAD/CAM system. Cone beam CT was used to measure the complete denture and the artificial teeth. After a 3D complete denture image was structured using 3D CAD software, we factored out the artificial teeth and obtained a 3D denture base image. A machining center cut an acrylic resin block, and fabricated an a...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the porosities in the mandibular acrylic denture bases processed by heat and microwave polymerization techniques, using two different brands of commercially available denture base resins. MATERIALS & METHODS Two brands of heat activated denture base resins, DPI plain and Acralyn H cross linked denture base resins designed for conven...

Background: Heat cured acrylic resin is the most widely used material in the manufacture ofdenture base, but has mechanical properties weakness (transversal strength and impact strength). Alternative to increase the mechanical properties of acrylic resin is the utilization of reinforcing fibre that is polyethylene fibre that has advantage such as good aesthetic, easy to manipulate and increase ...

acrylic resin denture bases undergo dimensional changes during polymerization. injection molding techniques are reported to reduce these changes and thereby improve physical properties of denture bases. the aim of this study was to compare dimensional changes of specimens processed by conventional and injection-molding techniques.sr-ivocap triplex hot resin was used for conventional pressure-pa...

Introduction: Detachment of denture teeth from denture base is one of the most common reasons for costly denture repairs .This study aimed at evaluating the bond strength of an acrylic denture tooth to polyamide injection-molded thermoplastic denture base material compared with three conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resins. Materials and Method: A total of 40 acrylic dent...

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...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to compare flexural strength of specimens processed by conventional and injection-molding techniques. materials and methods. conventional pressure-packed pmma was used for conventional pressure-packed and injection-molded pmma was used for injection-molding techniques. after processing, 15 specimens were stored in distilled water at room temperatur...

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...

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...
