Effect of Facial Treatment for Resin Teeth on Bonding Strength of Denture

레진치아의 표면처리가 의치상과의 결합강도에 미치는 영향

Acrylic resin has been widely used for dental care since it requires relatively simple equipment for treatment and less time and cost are needed to make it and, furthermore, proper strength, dimensional stability as well as durability are ensured after treatment. A survey of denture users showed, however, that more than 60% of dentures installed need repair each year, $22{\sim}30%$ of which are due to falling out of teeth. This study is aimed at exploring the means to increase bonding strength of denture by reducing the causes for falling out of teeth during the processing of dentures. For this aim, the bonding strength of dentures was compares and analyzed before and after the glazed surface of teeth contacting denture was eliminated. From the analysis, it was revealed that there was a difference of 4.3MPa in average in bonding strength between 20MPa for the glazed surface not eliminated and 24.3MPa for the glazed surface eliminated.
