Abstract

Through simulation method, the influences of occlusal force loading point, posterior pontics arrangement, palate thickness and denture base material on pressure distribution over supporting tissues under maxillary complete denture were studied. The results were the following: 1. Pressure distribution over supporting tissues showed remarkable variation according to the position of the occlusal force loading point. 2. Pressure on the buccal side of the alveolar ridge was greater in the buccally shifted arrangement of posterior pontics than in the standard and lingually shifted arrangements. 3. Reduced palate resin thickness below normal value increased pressure on the palate midline region. 4. For the standard and lingually shifted arrangements of posterior pontics, pressure on the incisor and palate midline regions is decreased in metal base compared to acrylic resin base. In the buccally shifted arrangement, pressure on buccal side of the alveolar ridge is lesser in metal base than in acrylic resin base.

Influence of the activator in an acrylic bone cement on an array of cement properties.

In all but one of the acrylic bone cement brands used in cemented arthroplasties, N,N-dimethyl-4-toluidine (DMPT) serves as the activator of the polymerization reaction. However, many concerns have been raised about this activator, all related to its toxicity. Thus, various workers have assessed a number of alternative activators, with two examples being N,N-dimethylamino-4-benzyl laurate (DMAL) and N,N-dimethylamino-4-benzyl oleate (DMAO). The results of limited characterization of cements that contain DMAL or DMAO have been reported in the literature. The present work is a comprehensive comparison of cements that contain one of these three activators, in which the values of a large array of their properties were determined. These properties range from the setting time and maximum exotherm temperature of the curing cement to the variation of the loss elastic modulus of the cured cement with frequency of the applied indenting force in dynamic nanoindentation tests. The present results, taken in conjunction with those presented in previous reports by the present authors and co-workers on other properties of these cements, indicate that both DMAL and DMPT are suitable alternatives to DMPT.

Dynamic scaling of polymer gels comprising nanoparticles.

We present dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements of soft poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) and polyacrylamide (PA) polymer gels prepared with trapped bodies (latex spheres or magnetic nanoparticles). We show that the anomalous diffusivity of the trapped particles can be analyzed in terms of a fractal Gaussian network gel model for the entire time range probed by DLS technique. This model is a generalization of the Rouse model for linear chains extended for structures with power law network connectivity scaling, which includes both percolating and uniform bulk gel limits. For a dilute dispersion of strongly scattering particles trapped in a gel, the scattered electric field correlation function at small wavevector ideally probes self-diffusion of gel portions imprisoning the particles. Our results show that the time-dependent diffusion coefficients calculated from the correlation functions change from a free diffusion regime at short times to an anomalous subdiffusive regime at long times (increasingly arrested displacement). The characteristic time of transition between these regimes depends on scattering vector as approximately q(-2), while the time decay power exponent tends to the value expected for a bulk network at small q. The diffusion curves for all scattering vectors and all samples were scaled to a single master curve.
