Abstract

The occlusion for complete dentures discussed in this article is based on basic principles and concepts that have been studied, tested, refined, and applied successfully by dentists for years. This should simplify rather than complicate the selection of the proper posterior tooth form for each patient's edentulous condition, the the modification of the teeth, and the use of the many occlusal schemes. The problem of occlusion is the dentist's responsibility and cannot be shared or relegated to nonprofessionals. The motivation for this article has been the hope that it will help the dentist recognize, analyze, and apply sound procedures in managing the problem. Only after this has been skillfully accomplished has the dentist assumed his full professional responsibility to the patient.

Subsurface deformation associated with hardness measurements of composites.

This study was prompted after a series of composites had been hardness-tested with the Vickers (pyramidal diamond indenter) and Barcol tests (flat-ended steel cone indenter). The results were found to differ markedly from the supplied Barcol/Vickers conversion chart. A sectioning and silver staining technique was therefore developed to examine the modes of subsurface deformation of four composites under the two indenters. Under the Vickers indentations, the large particle hybrid, Occlusin, showed a clear hemispherical area of subsurface disruption while the small particle hybrid, Brilliant Dentin, had a less distinct zone of disruption. The microfilled materials, Heliomolar and Isosit, showed minimal silver uptake, suggesting a less disruptive mode of plastic deformation. Under the Barcol indentations, Occlusion and Brilliant Dentin produced clear hemispherical zones of deformation, while Heliomolar and Isosit were badly crazed with distinctive patterns of subsurface flaws. These consistent patterns of failure to some extent explain the comparison of hardness measurements and may be of use in explaining the wear mechanisms of composite restorations.

Clinical evaluation of four anterior composite resins over five years.

Four hundred and thirty nine chemical-cured composite resin restorations were placed in the anterior teeth of 86 patients treated in a private dental practice. Four anterior resins were used, and placement was performed with acid etching and appropriate enamel bonding resins. Assessments were made of the handling characteristics, condition of the gingiva, surface staining, marginal staining, color deterioration, and of the longevity of the four materials. Clinical deterioration rates and failures of the different types of composites were evaluated over periods of up to five years. Although all the assessed clinical factors deteriorated with time, there were very few unsatisfactory rating scores. Most of the composite restorations performed well over the study. Eight per cent of the restorations failed during the study. Class IV preparations showed the highest restoration failure rates.

A comparison of monomer conversion and inorganic filler content in visible light-cured denture resins.

Visible light-cured (VLC) denture resins are relatively new products used for the reline and repair of dentures. The conversion of monomer into polymer in 3 brands of visible light-cured denture resins was investigated. The relationship of the inorganic filler content to this conversion was also studied. It was determined that these reline materials vary in monomer conversion and weight percentage of filler, and this variation is brand dependent. The monomer conversion ranged from 77% to 97%. Significant differences in these values were found when duration of light exposure was increased. In addition, resin nearest to the light source polymerized to a greater extent when compared to resin that was 1 mm deep to this surface, hence furthest from the light source. The inorganic filler content ranged from 0% to 15%. For the resin systems studied, the relationship between monomer conversion and inorganic filler loading was inversely proportional. Results indicated that monomer conversion of VLC repair resins was affected by the duration of light exposure as well as the amount of inorganic filler present in the material.
