Artificial tooth and polymer-base bond in removable dentures: the influence of pre-treatment on technological parameters to the bond`s strengthPavlin, Martin (Avtor) Rudolf, Rebeka (Avtor) Jerolimov, Vjekoslav (Avtor) artificial toothacrylic toothpolymer base bonddentistryThe aim of this study was to evaluate the artificial tooth and polymerbase bond, and to measure any formatted gaps between tooth and base. Acrylic models were classified into four groups depending on the type of surface pre-treatment. A pre-treatment surface combining mechanical and chemical led to the highest bond strength between acrylic tooth and denture-base. The fore-mentioned pre-treatment had an influenced on gap formation with an average value of 68.250 micro m, which is 70 % of the gap for the untreated samples. Furthermore, the measured compressive strength was above 6000 N/mm2, yet only 3200 N/mm2 on the untreated samples.20082015-12-21 16:37:14Delo ni kategorizirano56135sl
