THE BOND STRENGTH OF A VISIBLE LIGHT-CURED RELINE RESIN TO ACRYLIC RESIN DENTURE BASE MATERIAL

The introduction of Triad visible light-cured denture resin has led to several applications. Among them is direct intraoral relining of complete and partial dentures. This study investigated the bonding characteristics of Triad reline resin to four commonly used heat-cured denture base resins. The shear and tensile bond strengths of Triad resin and four denture base resins were determined and compared with intact tensile strengths. The findings of this study indicate that the bond strength of Triad resin to denture base resin is sufficiently high to suggest its clinical applicability. © 1990 The C. V. Mosby Company.
