The effect of retention grooves in Acrylic resin tooth denture base bond

합성수지 인공치와 열중합의치상 Resin의 결합시 인공치에 형성하는 유지공의 효과에 관한 연구

One of the primary advantages of acrylic resin teeth is their ability to bond chemically to the denture base resins. Fracture od acrylic resin teeth from a maxillary denture, however, is not uncommon. Bonding failures have been attributed to faulty boil-out procedures that fail to eliminate all traces of wax from the ridge lap surfaces of the teeth and to contamination of the ridge lap surface by careless application of tinfoil substitute. Attempts to increase the strength of the bond between acrylic resin teeth and heat-cured denture base resin include grinding the glossy ridge lap surface (in fluid system), painting the ridgelap surface of the teeth with monomer-polymer solution, and cutting retention grooves in the ridge lap surface of the teeth. This latter method has been tested by applying a tensile force in a labial direction to the incisal part of the lingual surface of the acrylic resin teeth. A progressive shear compressive load was applied at an angle to the lingual surface of acrylic resin teeth bonded to denture base acrylic resin. No statistically singificant advantage was derived by preparing retention grooves of different shapes in the ridgelap surface of the denture teeth.
