Abrasion of acrylic veneers by simulated toothbrushing.

The abrasion responses were tested on four acrylic veneer materials, K + B Plus, K + B 75, Isosit, and Ivocron. The studies were performed in two independent research laboratories. Two different brushing machines were used with an abrasive slurry. The results were used for comparing the degree of abrasion for the resin materials. Three analytical methods of measuring the degree of abrasive wear were used: surface profile measurement, microscopic evaluation, and measurement of loss of volume. Isosit showed the best abrasion resistance of the four materials tested.

Quality of stone dies produced by different impression materials. A comparative study of impression techniques.

A comparison was made of the ability of different impression materials to depict precision made steel blocks. Stone dies poured into such impressions were studied concerning their hardness, dimensional accuracy, detail reproduction, and surface reproduction. The dies were produced in the impression material only to a small extent, with the exception of their surface roughness. Differences between impression materials are otherwise small. The advantages of two-phase alginates over standard alginates lie in the impression technique rather than in the characteristics of the material.
