Acrylic Resins

Simplified denture repair technique.

The use of a cyanoacrylate adhesive to accurately and easily assemble the fractured segments of a denture is advocated. The repair can then be accomplished quickly without the need to pour a stone cast so that the patient does not remain without the prosthesis for extended periods. In addition, dentures once deemed unrepairable by conventional methods because they were broken into many pieces can now be salvaged.

Acrylic Resins

Effect of repair surface design, repair material, and processing method on the transverse strength of repaired acrylic denture resin.

The transverse strengths of blocks of denture base acrylic resin repaired with autopolymerizing monomer and polymer and autopolymerizing monomer and heat-cured polymer were measured with a three-point bending test. Three repair joints were studied: butt, round, and 45-degree bevel. Three processing methods were used: bench cure, hydroflask with hot water for 10 minutes, and hydroflask with hot water for 30 minutes. The strengths of repairs made with round and 45-degree bevel joint designs were similar and significantly greater than those with a butt joint design. The strengths of repairs processed in a hydroflask for 10 minutes and 30 minutes were similar and significantly greater than those cured on the bench top. There was no difference in the strength of repairs made with autopolymerizing monomer and polymer and autopolymerizing monomer and heat-cured polymer.

Acrylic Resins

Simultaneous repair and rebase of a removable partial denture.

A patient presented a unique dental problem: the evulsion of mandibular canines, and the restoration of anterior alveolar bone associated with periodontal disease. A mandibular removable partial denture, bilaterally supported by the canines, premolars, and molar abutments of blade implants, had been worn for more than ten years. The open clasps in the canine areas were irritating the oral tissues, and the space under the anterior saddle of the denture was retaining food. Both situations needed immediate consideration. The evulsed canines were reproduced in autocured acrylic and secured in the clasps of the denture. The space under the saddle was rebased with autocured acrylic. Since both areas were adjacent to each other, they were splinted together simultaneously. The patient was satisfied with having the old denture repaired without being deprived of the prosthesis for an extended period of time.

Denture Rebasing

Composite resin repair of porcelain denture teeth.

An effective temporary repair of fractured poreclain denture teeth involves abrasive treatment of the fractured tooth surface followed by a composite resin buildup. This study has demonstrated that the best potential retention of the composite buildup can be obtained through abrasive treatment by a course diamond stone.

Composite Resins

A technique for restoring abutments for removable partial dentures.

A technique was presented to restore a removable partial denture abutment so that the removable denture can continue to be used. The technique uses cold-curing acrylic resin in a rubber base impression form. The technique can be adapted to both direct and indirect procedures.

Acrylic Resins

The Micro-Ring for full subperiosteal implant and prosthesis construction.

This technique was developed to overcome some of the difficulties experienced by the dentist in construction and maintenance of an implant denture. Laboratory construction time is greatly reduced in both the subperiosteal and the implant prosthesis. The greatest advantages of the technique are accurate and positive construction and predictable results.

Dental Implantation

Splinting: a retrospective 17-year follow-up study.

A retrospective 17-year, longitudinal study monitoring 66 patients with fixed partial denture and removable partial denture restorations revealed that perceptive splinting was beneficial and enhanced the longevity of the restoration. The study discussed the advantages and disadvantages of splinting, the survival rate of splints and splinted teeth, and the importance of oral hygiene and a periodic maintenance program.
