Fractures in acrylic resin dentures occur quite often in the practice of prosthodontics. A durable repairing system for denture base fracture is desired to avoid recurrent fracture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture force, deflection, and toughness of a heat-polymerized denture base resin repaired with autopolymerized resin alone (C), visible light-polymerizing resin (VLC), or autopolymerizing resin reinforced with unidirectional (Stick) (MA-FS) and woven glass fibers (StickNet) (MA-SN). Another group was repaired with autopolymerized resin after wetting the repair site with methyl methacrylate (MA-MMA) for 180 seconds. A group of intact specimens was used as control.
Heat-polymerizing acrylic resin was used to fabricate the specimens. The specimens (10 per group) were sectioned in half, reassembled with a 3-mm butt-joint gap, and repaired. A cavity was included when glass fibers were used. Three-point bending was used to test the repaired site, and data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and the Tukey's post hoc test (alpha < or = 0.05).
Fracture force, deflection, and toughness for the repaired groups without reinforcement (MA: 46.7 +/- 8.6 N, 2.6 +/- 0.3 mm, 0.08 +/- 0.001 J; MA-MMA: 41.0 +/- 7.2 N, 2.7 +/- 0.4 mm, 0.07 +/- 0.002 J) were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the control group (C: 78.6 +/- 9.6 N, 5.9 +/- 0.4 mm, 0.27 +/- 0.003 J). Repair with visible light-polymerizing resin (VLC, 15.0 +/- 4.0 N, 1.2 +/- 0.4 mm, 0.02 +/- 0.0001 J) resulted in significant reduction of mechanical properties (p < 0.05). Reinforcement with glass fibers restored (MA-SN: 75.8 +/- 9.2 N) or increased (MA-FS: 124.4 +/- 12.5 N) the original strength.
The most effective repair method was the use of autopolymerized resin reinforced with unidirectional glass fibers.
在口腔修复实践中,丙烯酸树脂假牙经常出现骨折情况。需要一种耐用的假牙基托骨折修复系统来避免反复骨折。本研究的目的是评估仅用自凝树脂(C组)、可见光固化树脂(VLC组)、单向玻璃纤维增强的自凝树脂(Stick组,MA-FS组)和编织玻璃纤维增强的自凝树脂(StickNet组,MA-SN组)修复的热聚合假牙基托树脂的断裂力、挠度和韧性。另一组在用甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MA-MMA)湿润修复部位180秒后用自凝树脂修复。一组完整的标本用作对照。
使用热聚合丙烯酸树脂制作标本。将标本(每组10个)切成两半,以3毫米对接间隙重新组装并修复。使用玻璃纤维时包括一个腔。采用三点弯曲试验修复部位,数据采用单因素方差分析和Tukey事后检验(α≤0.05)进行分析。
未增强修复组(MA组:46.7±8.6 N,2.6±0.3 mm,0.08±0.001 J;MA-MMA组:41.0±7.2 N,2.7±0.4 mm,0.07±0.002 J)的断裂力、挠度和韧性显著低于对照组(C组:78.6±9.6 N,5.9±0.4 mm,0.27±0.003 J)(p<0.05)。用可见光固化树脂修复(VLC组,15.0±4.0 N,1.2±0.4 mm,0.02±0.0001 J)导致机械性能显著降低(p<0.05)。玻璃纤维增强恢复(MA-SN组:75.8±9.2 N)或提高(MA-FS组:124.4±12.5 N)了原始强度。
最有效的修复方法是使用单向玻璃纤维增强的自凝树脂。
