A Study on the Wear of Artificial Resin Teeth

수종 레진 인공치의 마모도에 관한 연구

The artificial resin teeth used for removable prosthesis have good physical properties, but they have great wear rate. The purpose of this study is to compare the wear characteristics of several artificial resin teeth, such as Myerson teeth(Myerson Crop), Trubite IPN(Dentsply), Endura Posterio(Shofu), SROrthosit(Ivoclar), Trubite Biotone(Dentsply), Five samples of each resin tooth were abraded against natural teeth, type III gold for 150,000 cycles on the wear machine. The results obtained were as follow 1. The wear rate of artificial resin teeth when opposing enamel was the lowest in Myerson teeth($8.60{\mu}m$), followed by Trubite IPN($41.30{\mu}m$), Endure poster($63.00{\mu}m$), SR-Orthosit($68.40{\mu}m$), Trubite Biotone($209.90{\mu}m$) 2. The wear rate of artificial teeth when opposting type III gold specimens was the lowest in Myerson teeth($13.50{\mu}m$) followed by Endura Posterio($14.75{\mu}m$), Trubite IPN($53.40{\mu}m$), SROrthosit($54.20{\mu}m$), Trubite Boitone($341.50{\mu}m$)
