Linear dimensional change of heat-cured acrylic resin complete dentures after reline and rebase.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Relining and rebasing of complete dentures are common procedures to improve the fit of the prostheses. After relining or rebasing, adjustments may be required because of dimensional change that occurs during reprocessing of the denture when new denture base material is polymerized. PURPOSE: This study analyzed the linear dimensional change of heat cured acrylic resin that occurs during reline and rebase procedures for complete dentures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-two maxillary and mandibular complete denture bases with artificial teeth were saturated by immersion in distilled water at 37 degrees C +/- 1 degree C. Fine crosses were marked on the incisal edges of the central incisors and the supporting cusps of the second molar teeth. Distances between the marks were measured with a high resolution traveling microscope. Heat-cured acrylic resin was processed by a long curing cycle of 72 degrees C for 6.5 hours, then heated to 100 degrees C for over 30 minutes and kept at 100 degrees C for 1 hour. The relined or rebased denture was allowed to cool slowly in the water bath for 48 hours to reach ambient temperature. The reference-crosses were measured immediately after careful deflasking. RESULTS: In the relining procedure, all incisor-molar and intermolar distances exhibited shrinkage of 0.3%, despite different shapes of maxillary and mandibular dentures. Results of the rebasing procedure were similar to that of the reline expect that only 0.1% intermolar shrinkage was found on the maxillary denture. CONCLUSION: Shrinkage was approximately 0.15 mm for an interarch distance of 50 mm. This degree of change is both clinically undetectable and insignificant. Using this processing cycle for acrylic resin in reline or rebase procedures did not cause clinically significant dimensional changes to complete dentures.

[Studies of dental methacrylic resin. (Part. 6) Adhesive strength of self-curing methacrylic resin to polymethylmetacrylates with various cross-linking density. (author's transl)].

The adhesive property of dental acrylic resin to resin teeth and denture base resins is an important property, in the case of preperating, repairing and rebasing denture. Then, as models of denture base resin and resin tooth, heat-curing methacrylic resins which were cross-linked with three kinds of polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, i.e., EDMA, tri-EDMA, nona-EDMA, were prepared, and the tensile adhesive strengths of self-curing methacrylic resin to them were examined. The results were as follows. 1) The tensile adhesive strength under the dry condition was dependent on cross-linking density of adherent resin, and decreased according to the increase of concentration of cross-linking agent added in adherent resin. 2) The greater the number of chain members of cross-linking agent used to adherent resin was, the higher the adhesive strength was. In particular, the adhesive strength to adherent resin added with nona-EDMA in concentration from 16.7 to 30 mole%, agreed with the tensile strength of adherent resin itself indicating a favourable adhesion. 3) The adhesive strengths under the wet condition, that is, when specimens were immersed in water at 37 degrees C for 21 days, decreased from 30 to 50%, compared with that under the dry condition.
