STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Techniques for bonding denture teeth to an acrylic resin denture base remain empirical, with little consensus from the literature, among clinicians, or among dental laboratories. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the failure load of acrylic resin teeth bonded to 2 high impact acrylic resins. METHODS AND MATERIAL: The ridge lap portion on 120 identical denture teeth were modified with 3 variables: (1) placing a diatoric, (2) using monomer to prewet the denture tooth, and (3) breaking the glaze. Variables were combined to form 6 groups of 10 teeth each, and processed with Lucitone 199 (Lucitone) or SR-Ivocap (Ivocap) acrylic resin. Data analysis included the use of a heterogeneous variance linear regression model. RESULTS: Mean (+/- SD) failure load ranged between 10.25 +/- 1.48 Kg to 28.43 +/- 11.05 Kg for the 6 Ivocap groups and 16.63 +/- 5.87 Kg to 28.05 +/- 5.35 Kg for the Lucitone groups. For Lucitone 199 acrylic resin, the highest failure loads resulted when the ridge lap was left with an intact glaze and did not have a diatoric, with no significant influence from the use of monomer. For Ivocap resin, the highest failure loads resulted when the ridge lap had a diatoric but did not have monomer placed, with no significant influence from glaze. CONCLUSION: Failure load of bonding highly cross-linked denture teeth to SR-Ivocap or Lucitone 199 acrylic resin was significantly influenced by modifications to the ridge lap before processing.
