Title: | Shear bond strength of denture teeth to base: A comparative study | Authors: | Thean, H.P.Y. Chew, C.-L. Goh, K.I. |
Issue Date: | 1996 | Citation: | Thean, H.P.Y.,Chew, C.-L.,Goh, K.I. (1996). Shear bond strength of denture teeth to base: A comparative study. Quintessence International 27 (6) : 425-428. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Fracture and debonding of plastic teeth from the denture base are common clinical problems. In this study, a shear, or peeling, load was applied to the tooth-denture base junction. The bond strength of a high-impact, heat-cured denture base to three commercial brands of denture teeth, Bioform, Dentacryl, and TNR, was assessed. Ninety-three percent of the specimens exhibited cohesive failure within the body of the tooth and not adhesive failure at the tooth-denture base junction. Some of the teeth exhibited brittle fracture while others underwent distortion on loading. Dentacryl displayed the highest cohesive bond strength, followed by Bioform and TNR. | Source Title: | Quintessence International | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/46960 | ISSN: | 00336572 |
