Colour effect of denture base on denture tooth materials.

A study using a HunterLab colorimeter was conducted to determine the colour effect of denture base materials on denture tooth acrylics. The results show that denture base materials create a measurable change in the chroma of denture tooth acrylics and suggest that optimal shade selection of teeth should include a determination of the background effects of denture base materials.

[Application of microwave for dental technique. 5. Injection molding system for resin base denture].

An injector and FRP denture flask were developed for injection molding and the fit of the denture base constructed with this injection molding system was evaluated. In addition, the flow and pressure of the dough, that is polymer-monomer mixture, in the mold space were investigated. The monomer of 10 mg/cm2 in the dough vaporized during the 5 minutes it took for the flash to be removed. When pressure of more than 55 kgf/cm2 was exerted to the dough, the dough was completely packed in the mold space. Fastening of the sprue with a bolt within 2 minutes after injection of the dough made the pressure of the dough increase to about 30 kgf/cm2. The dough in the mold space was maintained at a pressure of above 20 kgf/cm2 for microwave heating time. The adaptability of the resin base denture constructed with a combination of injection molding and microwave polymerization was 2 or 3 times greater than that of the denture constructed with microwave heating from the tissue side of the denture base.

Patterns of cell death induced by eluates from denture base acrylic resins in U-937 human monoblastoid cells.

The purpose of this study was to investigate in vitro the apoptosis- and necrosis-inducing potential of eluates from three heat-polymerized and four autopolymerized poly(methyl methacrylate)-based denture base resins. Our hypothesis was that the rate of cell death by apoptosis and/or necrosis induced by such denture base resins could be an important indicator of their cytotoxicity degree. U-937 human monoblastoid cells were exposed for 24 h and 48 h to eluates of 0.1 g/ml, 0.2 g/ml, 0.4 g/ml, and 0.8 g/ml extracted for 24 h and 48 h. The characteristics of apoptosis and necrosis were evaluated by flow cytometry and light and electron microscopy. Eluates from all resins enhanced cell death by apoptosis and necrosis in U-937 cells in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Eluates from autopolymerized resins yielded higher percentages of apoptosis and necrosis than the heat-polymerized ones. The results support our hypothesis that eluates of poly(methyl methacrylate)-based denture base acrylic resins activate death-signaling pathways, and that the extent of this process reflects their biocompatibility degree.

A metal-based denture with soft liner to accommodate the severely resorbed mandibular alveolar ridge.

A technique is described for designing and making a mandibular denture, for patients with severely resorbed and compromised residual alveolar ridges. The denture base is stabilized by a mucostatic impression technique, myostatic denture base design, weight of a cast metal denture base, and noninterceptive occlusion with monoplane or Centrimatic posterior teeth. The hard metal denture base is made tissue-compatible by means of a soft denture liner attached to a specially relieved cast metal denture base. Over a 2-year period, this technique has successfully provided, in my practice, an alternative to residual alveolar ridge implants and other surgical interventions for 22 edentulous patients with severely resorbed and compromised mandibular residual alveolar ridges.

The effect of heat- and auto-polymerized denture base polymers on clonogenicity, apoptosis, and necrosis in fibroblasts: denture base polymers induce apoptosis and necrosis.

Eluates from poly(methyl methacrylate)-based denture base polymers have recently been found to enhance death by apoptosis and necrosis in U-937 human monoblastoid cells. The present study investigated the potential of such polymers to induce apoptosis and/or necrosis and to alter clonogenicity in L929 murine fibroblasts. A fibroblast cell line was chosen because the impairment of fibroblasts subjacent to denture bases may result in a weaker or more permeable mucosa. Two aspects were addressed: the effect of direct contact with the denture base polymers and the effect of eluates extracted from the polymers. For this purpose L929 fibroblasts were seeded on disks manufactured from three heat-polymerized and four autopolymerized denture base polymers or in different concentrations of their eluates. The effects were evaluated by light, fluorescent, confocal and electron microscopy, counting of colonies, and flow cytometry. Disks and eluates of all polymers enhanced cell death by apoptosis and necrosis in L929 cells and decreased their clonogenic potential in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis was the main form of cell death. In general, the deleterious effects were stronger when cells were plated directly on the polymer disks than in the eluates. The autopolymerized polymers, except one, yielded higher percentages of apoptosis and necrosis than the heat-polymerized polymers. The results of the study indicated that poly(methyl methacrylate)-based denture base polymers trigger death-signals in L929 fibroblasts and open doors for possible modulation of the cell/biomaterial interaction.

Cast aluminum denture base.

The laboratory procedures for a cast aluminum base denture have been presented. If an induction casting machine is not available, the "two-oven technique" works well, provided the casting arm is kept spinning manually for 4 minutes after casting. If laboratory procedures are executed precisely and with care, the aluminum base denture can be cast with good results.

Achieving an even thickness in heat-polymerized permanent acrylic resin denture bases for complete dentures.

Permanent denture bases form the fitting surface of a denture and are constructed on a master cast, in heat-polymerized acrylic resin. These bases are strong and rigid and demonstrate both the fit and retention of the final prosthesis. General recommendations suggests a thickness of between 1.5 to 3 mm for these bases. The normal procedure for producing such a denture base is to manually adapt materials to the cast, in their plastic state, before processing. Such procedures are liable to distortion and variation in the thickness of the resultant denture base and may be unreliable. This article describes a method for achieving a consistent thickness in a heat-polymerized, permanent, acrylic resin denture base through the use of a vacuum-formed, thermoplastic blank as a template. The method is simple, and results in a denture base with a consistent even thickness.

Adhesion of a new light-polymerized denture base resin to resin teeth and denture base materials.

Shear adhesive strength tests were conducted to examine the adhesion of a newly developed light-polymerized denture base resin (LPR) to resin teeth and denture base materials. When LPR was bonded to these materials with a new light-activated bonding agent, the adhesive strength improved greatly. Adhesive strengths of LPR to denture base metals were greater than, or similar to, the metal adhesive autopolymerized resin containing 4-META. Compared with the metal adhesive heat-polymerizing resin, the LPR adhesive values were less when bonded to pure titanium but greater for 18-8 stainless steel and the gold-silver-palladium alloy.

[Application of superplastic titanium alloy for denture base--Part 1. Adaptability of the titanium alloy denture base].

The adaptability of the upper complete denture base made from superplastic alloy 90Ti-6A1-4V was investigated by measuring the space between the master model and the denture base. The denture bases showed a high adaptability with the space less than 0.1 mm, whereas after curing resin for denture, it became worse especially with the heat-curing resin. In addition, the thinnest area of the denture base was observed at the middle of the plate with 38% reduction in thickness, and distortion of the base plate of 0.55mm thickness by curing resin was found to be nearly the same as that of type 304 stainless steel plate of 0.50 mm thickness.

The cast aluminum denture base. Part I: Rationale.

Experiments with various casting techniques have been done, and aluminum base dentures have been made for many patients. The subjective clinical response from patients wearing aluminum dentures has not been different from patients wearing acrylic resin dentures. However, Brudvik and Holt have stated that they have had marked clinical success in using aluminum bases. A literature review on using aluminum as a denture base material has been presented, and the rationale for its use has been discussed. In part II, a technique will be described that can be used for casting aluminum denture bases.

Adhesive bonding of denture base resins to plastic denture teeth.

The adhesive bonding of denture teeth to denture base resins in dentures with conventional acrylic teeth and crosslinked plastic teeth was investigated. The dentures with highly crosslinked plastic teeth such as SR-Orthosit, Crystal ND, and Mitel-OM showed poor bonding at the tooth/base resin interface using the conventional bonding method. Elimination of the alginate mold lining material in the conventional bonding method effectively improved bonding at the tooth/base resin interface. The application of 4-META adhesive bonding agents to the denture teeth improved the interface bonding of highly crosslinked plastic teeth and the denture base. Dentures with Orthosit and Mitel showed differences in bonding ability when two different adhesives were used.

Basic studies on visible light-curing resin for denture base. Part 8. The hardening depth of denture relining material after penetration of light through the denture base resin.

A study was performed to examine how the duration of irradiation at the time of relining with visible light-curing material influences the depth of hardening of the relining material, in relation to the thickness of the denture base placed between the denture and the relining material. It was found that for a range of denture base thickness of 1-2.5 mm, a desirable degree of hardening could be obtained using an irradiation time of 20 s for relining material with a thickness of up to 4 mm used for the basal surface.

The pontic-splinted procedure for tooth and denture base additions in denture repair.

Various methods for adding teeth to existing dentures have been used clinically. Although a direct, single-tooth addition method saves time, it often is difficult to achieve an esthetic appearance when adding several missing anterior teeth with this technique. Indirectly adding teeth may achieve a better esthetic result, but this method is time-consuming. This article describes the pontic-splinted procedure, an indirect method for replacing several anterior teeth and part of the denture base that can save time and, at the same time, help the clinician achieve acceptable esthetics.

The effect of glutaraldehyde base disinfectants on denture base resins.

The effect of two alkaline glutaraldehyde base disinfectants on a heat-cured denture base resin was evaluated by the flexural strength, the repair flexural strength, and the surface morphology of the material that had been immersed up to 12 hours in the disinfecting solutions. The flexural strength of the material was not significantly affected by either disinfectant. The disinfectant with phenolic buffer caused surface pitting of the material after 10 minutes of immersion, and softening and swelling of the surface after 2 hours of immersion. No apparent surface change was observed with the regular alkaline formulation, however. Between the two repair resins, the autopolymerized resin yielded greater repair flexural strength than the light-cured repair resin. However, the repair flexural strength of autopolymerized resin seemed to be influenced by either disinfecting solution whereas the light-cured repair resin was not affected.
