Adhesive bonding of denture base resins to plastic denture teeth.

The adhesive bonding of denture teeth to denture base resins in dentures with conventional acrylic teeth and crosslinked plastic teeth was investigated. The dentures with highly crosslinked plastic teeth such as SR-Orthosit, Crystal ND, and Mitel-OM showed poor bonding at the tooth/base resin interface using the conventional bonding method. Elimination of the alginate mold lining material in the conventional bonding method effectively improved bonding at the tooth/base resin interface. The application of 4-META adhesive bonding agents to the denture teeth improved the interface bonding of highly crosslinked plastic teeth and the denture base. Dentures with Orthosit and Mitel showed differences in bonding ability when two different adhesives were used.
