    The effect of the addition of poly(methyl methacrylate) fibres on some properties of high strength heat-cured acrylic resin denture base material

    JOURNAL OF ORAL REHABILITATION, Issue 3 2003
    D. Jagger
    summary, The self-reinforcement of acrylic resin with butadiene styrene surface treated poly(methyl methacrylate) fibres has been reported to have the potential to substantially improve the transverse bend strength of conventional heat-cured acrylic resin. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of butadiene styrene surface treated poly(methyl methacrylate) fibres in cross-ply arrangement to high impact acrylic resin on the transverse and impact strength. Specimens were prepared as specified in the International Standard Organization and British Standards for the Testing of Denture Base Resins (ISO 1567, 1988; BS 2487, 1989) and the British Standard Specification for Orthodontic resins (BS 6747, 1987) for transverse bend and impact testing. The impact strength was measured using a Zwick pendulum impact tester and the transverse bend strength measured using a Lloyds Instruments testing machine. The results showed that the impact strength was not improved with the addition of fibres, high impact acrylic resin with fibres (LF) 11·1 kJ m,2 and high impact acrylic resin (L) (12·5 kJ m,2). The modulus of rupture was decreased with the addition of fibres (57·8 MPa) for (LF) compared with (60·4 MPa) for (L). The modulus of elasticity was also reduced with the addition of fibres (1834·9 MPa) (LF) and 2086·2 MPa (L) as was the peak load (LF) (50·8 N) and (L) (55·8 N). It was concluded that the addition of surface treated poly(methyl methacrylate) fibres in cross-ply arrangement to high strength acrylic resin did not produce an improvement in the impact or transverse strength and cannot be recommended as a method of reinforcement.

    JOURNAL OF PROSTHODONTICS, Issue 5 2009
    Julię Marra DDS
    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thermocycling effects and shear bond strength of acrylic resin teeth to denture base resins. Materials and Methods: Three acrylic teeth (Biotone, Trilux, Ivoclar) were chosen for bonding to four denture base resins: microwave-polymerized (Acron MC), heat-polymerized (Lucitone 550 and QC-20), and light-polymerized (Versyo.bond). Twenty specimens were produced for each denture base/acrylic tooth combination and were divided into two groups (n = 10): without thermocycling (control groups) and thermocycled groups submitted to 5000 cycles between 4 and 60°C. Shear strength tests (MPa) were performed with a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out with three-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's multiple comparisons post hoc analysis for test groups (,= 0.05). Results: The shear bond strengths of Lucitone/Biotone, Lucitone/Trilux, and Versyo/Ivoclar specimens were significantly decreased by thermocycling, compared with the corresponding control groups (p < 0.05). The means of Acron/Ivoclar and Lucitone/Ivoclar specimens increased after thermocycling (p < 0.05). The highest mean shear bond strength value was observed with Lucitone/Biotone in the control group (14.54 MPa) and the lowest with QC-20/Trilux in the thermocycled group (3.69 MPa). Conclusion: Some acrylic tooth/denture base resin combinations can be more affected by thermocycling; effects vary based upon the materials used. [source]


    The occurrence of porosity in reline acrylic resins.

    GERODONTOLOGY, Issue 1 2009
    Effect of microwave disinfection
    Background:, Microwave energy has proved to be an effective method for disinfecting acrylic dentures. However, the effect of microwave heating on the porosity of autopolymerising denture reline resins has not been investigated. Objective:, The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of microwave disinfection on the porosity of autopolymerised denture reline materials (Kooliner-K, New Truliner-NT, Tokuso Rebase Fast-TR and Ufi Gel Hard-UGH) and a conventional heat-polymerised denture base resin (Lucitone 550-L). Material and methods:, Specimens (10 mm × 20 mm × 1 mm) were obtained from the impression surface of the palatal mucosa in a single person and divided into four groups (n = 5). The porosity was evaluated after polymerisation (C1), after two cycles of microwave disinfection (MW2), after seven cycles of microwave disinfection (MW7) and after 7 days storage in water at 37°C (C2). Specimens from group MW7 were exposed to microwave disinfection daily being stored in water at 37°C between exposures. All the replicas were sputter coated with gold and micrographs/digital images were taken of each replica using scanning electron microscopy at magnification × 100. The SEM micrographs were then examined using an image analyser to determine the number of pores. Comparison between materials and groups were made using Kruskal,Wallis tests. Results:, MW7 resulted in a significant increase in the number from the pores of material K, but decreased in number in reline material TR and UGH reline resin. The number of pores in materials NT and L remained unaffected following microwave disinfection. Conclusion:, Differences in the porosity amongst the materials and for different experimental conditions were observed following microwave disinfection. [source]


    Bonding acrylic teeth to acrylic resin denture bases: a review

    GERODONTOLOGY, Issue 3 2006
    S. B. Patil
    Partial or complete dentures are more commonly constructed for the elderly group of the population. Teeth debonding from the dentures can be frustrating to the patients as well as the dentist. Research has been carried out and is continuing to study the issue of bonding acrylic teeth to the denture base resin. The present review takes into account the majority of research papers published in the last five decades for determining the bond strength. Selection of more compatible combinations of denture base resins and acrylic teeth may reduce the number of prosthesis fractures and the resultant repairs. [source]


    A positive-working photosensitive polyimide based on thermal cross-linking and acidolytic cleavage

    JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 4 2008
    Myung-Sup Jung
    Abstract A novel positive-working photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) based on a poly(hydroxyimide) (PHI), a crosslinking agent having vinyl ether groups, and a photoacid generator (PAG) was prepared. The PHI as a base resin of the three-component PSPI was synthesized from 4,4,-oxydiphthalic anhydride and 2,2,-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane through ring-opening polymerization and subsequent thermal cyclization. 2,2,-bis(4-(2-(vinyloxy)ethoxy)phenyl)propane (BPA-DEVE) was used as a vinylether compound and diphenyliodonium 5-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulfonate was used as a PAG. The phenolic hydroxyl groups of the PHI and the vinyl ether groups of BPA-DEVE are thermally crosslinked with acetal structures during prebake step, and the crosslinked PHI becomes completely insoluble in an aqueous basic solution. Upon exposure to UV light (365 nm) and subsequent postexposure bake (PEB), a strong acid generated from the PAG cleaves the crosslinked structures, and the exposed area is effectively solubilized in the alkaline developer. The dissolution behavior of the PSPI containing each 11.5 wt % of BPA-DEVE and of the PAG was studied after UV exposure (365 nm) and PEB. It was found that the difference in dissolution rates between exposed and unexposed areas was enough to get high resolution. A fine positive pattern with a resolution of 5 ,m in a 3.7-,m-thick film was obtained from the three-component PSPI. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 [source]


    Failure Modes with Point Loading of Three Commercially Available Denture Teeth

    JOURNAL OF PROSTHODONTICS, Issue 6 2008
    Andrew R. Moffitt DDS
    Abstract Purpose: A common problem associated with implant-supported prostheses is the fracture of denture teeth. This study was designed to compare the fracture modes of three denture teeth by compressive load at a 30° off-axis angle. Material and Methods: Three denture teeth (Vident Duostat, Ivoclar Vivadent, and Dentsply Trubyte) processed to two denture base processing systems [injection-molded (IM) SR-Ivocap system and compression-molded (CM) denture base resin] were evaluated. Each specimen was processed to a metal framework. Ultimate failure strength of each system when point loaded at a 30° off-axis angle was recorded, along with a visual inspection of each specimen. Results: The average load fracture for each group was (in N): Vident CM 1106.97 ± 223.20, Vident IM 1168.18 ± 322.52, Dentsply CM 1098.08 ± 286.32, Dentsply IM 1023.80 ± 282.45, Ivoclar CM 1616.98 ± 204.87, and Ivoclar IM 1373.54 ± 282.58. There was a significant difference between the groups and the Ivoclar CM group. The Ivoclar CM group had the highest average load force, and the Dentsply IM group had the lowest average load force. On average, the teeth within the groups fractured at a higher compression force than the average maximum occlusal force in natural dentition. Dentsply and Vident denture teeth fractured more horizontally, and the Ivoclar denture teeth fractured more vertically within the groups. There was no significant difference among the groups between the IM and CM processing methods. Conclusions: In the present in vitro study, all specimens were able to withstand 30° off-axis loading with the exception of one specimen. With these results, this would indicate that these denture teeth are able to withstand normal occlusal forces. [source]


    Fracture Force, Deflection, and Toughness of Acrylic Denture Repairs Involving Glass Fiber Reinforcement

    JOURNAL OF PROSTHODONTICS, Issue 4 2008
    Ioannis Kostoulas DDS
    Abstract Purpose: Fractures in acrylic resin dentures occur quite often in the practice of prosthodontics. A durable repairing system for denture base fracture is desired to avoid recurrent fracture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture force, deflection, and toughness of a heat-polymerized denture base resin repaired with autopolymerized resin alone (C), visible light-polymerizing resin (VLC), or autopolymerizing resin reinforced with unidirectional (Stick) (MA-FS) and woven glass fibers (StickNet) (MA-SN). Another group was repaired with autopolymerized resin after wetting the repair site with methyl methacrylate (MA-MMA) for 180 seconds. A group of intact specimens was used as control. Materials and Methods: Heat-polymerizing acrylic resin was used to fabricate the specimens. The specimens (10 per group) were sectioned in half, reassembled with a 3-mm butt-joint gap, and repaired. A cavity was included when glass fibers were used. Three-point bending was used to test the repaired site, and data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and the Tukey's post hoc test (,, 0.05). Results: Fracture force, deflection, and toughness for the repaired groups without reinforcement (MA: 46.7 ± 8.6 N, 2.6 ± 0.3 mm, 0.08 ± 0.001 J; MA-MMA: 41.0 ± 7.2 N, 2.7 ± 0.4 mm, 0.07 ± 0.002 J) were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the control group (C: 78.6 ± 9.6 N, 5.9 ± 0.4 mm, 0.27 ± 0.003 J). Repair with visible light-polymerizing resin (VLC, 15.0 ± 4.0 N, 1.2 ± 0.4 mm, 0.02 ± 0.0001 J) resulted in significant reduction of mechanical properties (p < 0.05). Reinforcement with glass fibers restored (MA-SN: 75.8 ± 9.2 N) or increased (MA-FS: 124.4 ± 12.5 N) the original strength. Conclusion: The most effective repair method was the use of autopolymerized resin reinforced with unidirectional glass fibers. [source]


    In vitro new dialysis protocol to assay the antiseptic properties of a quaternary ammonium compound polymerized with denture acrylic resin

    LETTERS IN APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY, Issue 3 2004
    C. Pesci-Bardon
    Abstract Aims:, To develop an in vitro protocol in order to assess the antiseptic properties of a quaternary ammonium compound polymerized with acrylic denture resin base, using experimental resin discs and dialysis membranes. Methods and Results:, Experimental acrylic resin discs were polymerized with Poly 202063A, an ammonium compound (2,50%). Antiseptic properties were assayed against two reference strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) and a laboratory strain (Candida albicans), using three different conditions (test A, B and C). In test A, according to classical protocols the resin discs were first soaked in large volumes of microbial inoculum (45 ml). An original dialysis protocol was then designed to recreate the small biofilm volume on the prosthetic surface. In test B, discs and bacterial inoculum (600 ,l) were introduced in a dialysis bag and dialysed against a sterile buffer. A bactericidal effect was observed against E. coli and Staph. aureus (<0·1% viable cells in initial bacterial suspension). A dose-dependent fungistatic effect was observed against C. albicans. Finally, in test C discs and sterile buffer (600 ,l) were introduced in a dialysis bag and dialysed against microbial inoculum. Reduced activity was found outside the dialysis bag, demonstrating that free ammonium was able to diffuse through the dialysis membrane, displaying antiseptic properties. Conclusions:, The present protocol demonstrated that a quaternary ammonium compound remains efficient after heat polymerization with an acrylic denture base resin, both in immediate and distant microbial environments. Significance and Impact of the Study:, Such removable prosthetic devices with intrinsic antiseptic properties would contribute to improve the long-term management of denture stomatitis. [source]

    Abstract Background: In recent years, glass fibres have been used to strengthen denture base resins. A major difficulty in using reinforcing fibres with multiphase acrylic resins, such as powder liquid resins, is inadequate impregnation of the fibres with the resin. Methods: This investigation examined the reinforcing effect of glass fibres on the fracture resistance and flexural strength of acrylic denture base resins. Eighty identical specimens were formed in specially designed moulds in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The four experimental groups were prepared and these consisted of conventional acrylic resin and the same resin reinforced with glass fibres. Ten specimens were fabricated in a standardized fashion for each experimental group. Flexural strength was tested using a 3-point universal testing machine. Results: In this study, statistically significant differences were found in the flexural strength of the specimens (P<0.05). The injection-moulded, fibre-reinforced group had significantly lower flexural strength than the injection-moulded group (P<0.001), and the microwave-moulded, fibre-reinforced group had lower flexural strength than the microwave-moulded group. The fracture resistance was significantly higher in the injection-moulded, fibre-reinforced group than in the injection-moulded group (P<0.05), and the fracture resistance was significantly higher in the microwave-moulded, fibre-reinforced group than in the microwave-moulded group. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the flexural strength of heat-polymerized PMMA denture resin was improved after reinforcement with glass fibres. It may be possible to apply these results to distal extension partial and complete denture bases. [source]
