Comparison of Denture Base Adaptation and Some Mechanical Properties among Conventional, CAD-CAM, and 3-D Printed Denture Base Materials
Author(s): Ameer yousif abdul-allah* and Ali Jameel abdulsahib
Introduction: In this study, the mechanical properties of several materials and technologies used in the fabrication of denture bases are compared (denture base adaptation, surface roughness and surface hardness). The digital technologies of CAD-CAM and 3-D printing were highlighted in the study. Aim: Compare the adaptation of denture bases between three type of acrylic resins; conventional heat-cured acrylic, CAD-CAM acrylic and 3-D printer acrylic by digital superimposition. Materials and methods: Three PMMA sheets were used to make a total of 90 acrylic resin specimens; conventional heat-cured acrylic, CAD-CAM acrylic and 3-D printer acrylic and divided into three groups according to the test (each group consist of 30 specimens). Denture base adaptation test including maxillary record base fabrication by the referen.. Read More»
