Method of bonding cured rubber and acrylic resin useable in making a composite denture prosthesis

摘要

A method of bonding cured rubber and acrylic resin together which is suitable for use in making a denture prosthesis in which the rubber serves as a base plate with the acrylic resin being utilized as a tooth carrying portion. Bonding of the rubber and acrylic portions of the prosthesis is accomplished by partially embedding particles of metal alloy in a peripheral portion of the rubber base plate before curing the plate. The tooth-carrying acrylic resin portion of the denture is joined to the rubber base plate with the embedded metal particles serving to key the two portions together, thereby providing a strong, well-fitting and aesthetically pleasing prosthesis.
