Tensile and shear bond strength of hard and softdenture relining materials to the conventional heat cured acrylicdenture base resin: An In-vitro study

摘要

>Background: The condition of the denture bearing tissues may be adversely affected by high stress concentration during function. Chairside Denture (Hard and Soft) reliners are used to distribute forces applied to soft tissues during function. Tensile and shear bond strength has been shown to be dependent on their chemical composition. A weak bond could harbor bacteria, promote staining and delamination of the lining material. To investigate tensile and shear bond strength of 4 different commercially available denture relining materials to conventional heat cured acrylic denture base resin. >Materials & Methods: 4 mm sections in the middle of 160 Acrylic cylindrical specimens (20 mm x 8 mm) were removed, packed with test materials (Mollosil, G C Reline Soft, G C Reline Hard (Kooliner) and Ufi Gel Hard and polymerized. Specimens were divided into 8 groups of 20 each.Tensile and shear bond strength to the conventional heat curedacrylic denture base resin were examined by Instron UniversalTensile Testing Machine using the equation F=N/A (F-maximum forceexerted on the specimen (Newton) and A-bonding area= 50.24 mm2).One-way ANOVA was used for multiple group comparisons followed byBonferroni Test and Hsu’s MCB for multiple pairwise comparisons toasses any significant differences between the groups.>Results:The highest mean Tensile bond strength value was obtained for UfiGel Hard (6.49+0.08 MPa) and lowest for G C Reline Soft (0.52+0.01MPa). The highest mean Shear bond strength value was obtained forUfi Gel Hard (16.19+0.1 MPa) and lowest for Mollosil (0.59+0.05MPa). The Benferroni test showed a significant difference in themean tensile bond strength and the mean shear bond strength whenthe two denture soft liners were compared as well as when the twodenture hard liners were compared. Hsu’s MCB implied that Ufi gelhard is better than its other closest competitors.>Conclusion:The Tensile and Shear bond strength values of denture soft relinerswere significantly lower than denture hard reliners.>How to cite the article:Lau M, Amarnath GS, Muddugangadhar BC, Swetha MU, Das KA.
