An experimental study was performed to study the tissue reactions to tissue conditioners in rabbits. Thirty rabbits were divided into three groups, 10, Hydro-cast group, 10, Coe-comfort group, and 10, heat-cured resin group. Tissue conditioners and heat-cured resin were embedded in the oral mucosa of rabbits. The tissue specimens were removed on 3rd, 7th, 14h, 21st and 28th day after embedding and examined under microscope after staining them with H-E stain, Van Gieson's stain, Masson's trichrome stain and PAS reaction. The results were as follows : 1. Tissue reactions to tissue conditioners were somewhat different from each other in the early stage, but, with the increase of the embedding period, the fibrous capsule was thickened in both. These tissue reactions were similar to those to heat-cured resin. 2. Newly formd fibrous components were stained deep-red with Van Gieson's stain and dark-green with Masson's trichrome stain. But their stainability was decreased as collagenous fibers became matured. 3. Newly formed fibrous components showed intense PAS reactivity, but PAS reactivity was reduced as the connective tissue capsule became completed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of class II composite resin inlays and compare them with the conventional light-cured resin filling restorations. Class II cavities were prepared in 60 extracted human molars with which cervical margins were located below 1.0mm at the cemento-enamel junction using No. 701 tapered fissure carbide bur. All of the prepared cavities were restored as follows and divided into 6 groups. Group I and 2 were restored using direct filling technique and group 3,4,5 and 6 were restored using direct inlay technique that was cemented with dual-cured resin cements. group I: Cavities were restored with light-curing composite resin, Brilliant Lux. group 2. Cavities were restored with light-curing composite resin, Clearfil PhotoPosterior. group 3: Cavities were restored with Clearfil CR Inlay and heat treated at $125^{\circ}C$ for 7 minutes. group 4: Cavities were restored with same material as group 3 and heat treated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes. group 5: Cavities were restored with Brilliant (Indirect esthetic system) and heat treated at $125^{\circ}C$ for 7 minutes. group 6: Cavities were restored with same material as group 5 and heat treated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes. All specimens were polished with same method and thermocycled between $6^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, then immersed in a bath of 2.0% aqueous solution of basic fuchsin dye for 24 hours. Dyed specimens were sectioned longitudinally and dye penetration degree was read on a scale of 0 to 4 by Tani and Buonocore's method 45). The results were as follows: 1. Microleakage was observed rather at the cervical margins than at the occlusal margins in all groups. 2. Composite resin inlay groups showed significantly less leakage than direct filling groups at the cervical margins (p < 0.001). 3. In composite resin inlay groups, there was no significant difference in microleakage between specimens by heat treating temperature and time (p > 0.05). 4. There was no significant difference in leakage between each groups at the occlusal margins (p > 0.05).

PURPOSE. This study aimed to assess and compare the color stability, flexural strength (FS), and surface roughness of occlusal splints fabricated from heat-cured acrylic resin, milled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based resin, and 3D-printed (PMMA) based-resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Samples of each type of resin were obtained, and baseline measurements of color and surface roughness were recorded. The specimens were divided into three groups (n = 10) and subjected to distinct aging protocols: thermomechanical cycling (TMC), simulated brushing (SB), and control (without aging). Final assessments of color and surface roughness and three-point bending test (ODM100; Odeme) were conducted, and data were statistically analyzed (2-way ANOVA, Tukey, P <.05). RESULTS. Across all resin types, the most significant increase in surface roughness (Ra) was observed after TMC (P < .05), with the 3D-printed resin exhibiting the lowest Ra (P < .05). After brushing, milled resin displayed the highest Ra (P < .05) and greater color alteration (∆E₀₀) compared to 3D-printed resin. The most substantial ∆E₀₀ was recorded after brushing for all resins, except for heat-cured resin subjected to TMC. Regardless of aging, milled resin exhibited the highest FS (P < .05), except when compared to 3D-printed resin subjected to TMC. Heat-cured resin exposed to TMC demonstrated the lowest FS, different (P < .05) from the control. Under control conditions, milled resin exhibited the highest FS, different (P < .05) from the brushed group. 3D-printed resin subjected to TMC displayed the highest FS (P < .05). CONCLUSION. Among the tested resins, 3D-printed resin demonstrated superior longevity, characterized by minimal surface roughness and color alterations. Aging had a negligible impact on its mechanical properties.

The fracture of acrylic resin dentures remains an unsolved problem. Therefore, many investigations have been performed and various approaches to strengthening acrylic resin, for example, the reinforcement of heat-cured PMMA resin using glass fibers, have been suggested over the years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of short glass fibers treated with silane coupling agent on the transverse strength of heat-polymerized PMMA denture base resin. To avoid fiber bunching and achieve even fiber distribution, glass fiber bundles were mixed with PMMA powder in conventional mixer whose blade was modified to be blunt. Composite of glass fiber($11{\mu}m$ diameter, 3mm & 6mm length, silane treated) and PMMA resin was made. Transverse strength and Young's modulus were estimated. Glass fibers were incorporated with 1%, 3%, 6% and 9% by weight. Plasticity and workability of dough was evaluated. Fracture surface of specimens was investigated by SEM. The results of this study were as follows 1. 6% and 9% incorporation of 3mm glass fibers in the PMMA resin enhanced the transverse strength of the test specimens(p<0.05). 2. 6% incorporation of 6mm glass fibers in the PMMA resin increased transverse strength, but 9% incorporation of it decreased transverse strength(p<0.05). 3. When more than 3% of 3mm glass fibers and more than 6% of 6mm glass fibers were incorporated, Young's modulus increased significantly(p<0.05). 4. Workability decreased gradually as the percentage of the fibers increased. 5. Workability decreased gradually as the length of the fibers increased. 6. In SEM and LM, there was no bunching of fibers and no shortening of fibers.

Aminophosphazene derivatives were prepared from hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and used for the curing agents of epoxy resins. The effect of the curing agent on the dynamic viscoelastic properties, flame proofing, and heat resistance of the cured epoxy resins were investigated and compared with those for the epoxy resins cured with aliphatic and aromatic amines. The epoxy resin cured by 1,1-diamino-3,3,5,5-tetrachlorocyclotriphosphazene showed the highest storage modulus and glass transition temperature when cured at 19$0^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours. The epoxy resins cured with phosphazene derivatives showed superior flame proofing to those with aliphatic amine and aromatic amine. Particularly it is an effective curing agent for epoxy resins to enhance the storage modulus, flame proofing and resistance to heat.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the degree of conversion on a composite resin surface following heat treatment and mylar strip finishing. The effects of the time interval between the light-curing and heat-curing process were also evaluated. The composite resin surface which had been covered with a coverglass showed a lower conversion rate than the surface from which a layer of $500{\mu}m$ was ground away. The composite resin surface was definitely affected by oxygen during the heat curing process when it had not been insulated. When the composite resins were heat cured after 3 days of storage following the light curing process, the increased in the degree of conversion through heatcuring was limited.

The effect of heat treatment and mechanical stress on the dielectic strength of epoxy resin film is studied. The film with 30-210 .mu.m thickness are casted at room temperature for 8 hours and post cured at the range of temperature 60-180 .deg. C, and the heat setting time are two kind, ie, 2 and 10 hours. The samples are made with Stycast 1266 that the primary compound is diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, and the hardner is denaturated polyamines. Under no mechanical stresses, the maximum dielectric strength of the sample is obtained for the sample heat treated for 2 hours at 150 .deg. C. However, the best dielectric strength characteristics under compressive stress is obtained for the sample heat treated at 90 .deg. C and 120 .deg. C. The dielectric strength of the sample are also affected significantly by the cooling velocity of the sample after post heat setting at given temperature.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Poor wettability of denture relining materials may lead to retention problems and patient discomfort. PURPOSE. Purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate wettability of nine denture relining materials using contact angle measurements under air and water storage over time. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Nine denture relining materials were investigated in this study. Two heat-curing polymethyl-methacrylate(PMMA) denture base materials: Vertex RS, Lang, one self-curing polyethyl-methacrylate(PEMA) chairside reline resin: Rebase II, six silicone relining materials: Mucopren soft, Mucosoft, $Mollosil^{{R}}$ plus, Sofreliner Touch, GC $Reline^{TM}$ Ultrasoft, Silagum automix comfort were used in this experiment. Contact angles were measured using high-resolution drop shape analysis system(DSA 10-MK2, KRUESS, Germany) under three conditions(in air after setting, 1 hour water storage, and 24 hours water storage). Nine materials were classified into three groups according to material composition(Group 1: PMMA, Group 2: PEMA, Group 3: Silicone). Mean values of contact angles were compared using independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA, followed by a Scheffe's post hoc analysis($\alpha$=0.01). RESULTS. Contact angles of materials tested after air and water storage increased in the following order: Group 1(PMMA), Group 2(PEMA), Group 3(Silicone). Heat-cured acrylic denture base resins had more wettability than silicone relining materials. Lang had the highest wettability after 24 hours of water storage. Silicone relining materials had lower wettability due to their hydrophobicity. Wettability of all denture relining materials, except Rebase II and $Mollosil^{{R}}$ plus, increased after 24 hours of water storage. CONCLUSIONS. Conventional heat-cured resin showed the highest wettability, therefore, it can be suggested that heat-cured acrylic resin is material of choice for denture relining materials.
