Success rate of approximately 90% was obtained with vertical retentive grooves on canines and central incisors. We believe that this method can be used to improve the bond strength of the teeth with the denture base material and prevent their dislodgement from the denture base 1,2 Key words : Shear bond strength, cross-linked acrylic resin teeth,retentive grooves Introduction: During the past few decades, several scientific developments were carried in the fields of Dental base like faulty boil out procedures, residual wax on ridge lap surfaces of teeth, careless application of tin foil substitutes and other separating medium materials and Prosthodontics to produce denture like sodium alginate to teeth leading to base materials that exhibited excellent fit, contamination of their ridge lap surfaces. dimensional stability,strength, tissue tolerance, The resistance to fracture of acrylic resin teeth from ease of fabrication,esthetics and are economical. denture base depends on SHEAR BOND Though many types of denture base materials were developed, acrylic polymers remained as the most commonly used ones since their introduction by Harold Veron in 1937.Ever since then, there has been constant evolvement of the material to achieve best results.acrylic resin teeth are preferred as functional portions with acrylic resin denture base material as they became integral part of the denture by their chemical bonding resulting in an overall stronger one unit denture. However there are several factors which resulted in poor bonding of acrylic resin teeth to the denture STRENGTH which gives an indication of material performance under conditions of static loading. 3,4 Attempts to increase the strength of the bond between acrylic resin teeth and heat cured denture base resin include 1. Grinding the glossy ridge lap surface of resin teeth. 2. Painting the ridge lap surfaces of teeth with monomer polymer solution. 3. Cutting retentive groves in the ridge lap surface of teeth. Retentive grooves placed in the ridge laps of ISSN:

To determine whether central incisor or lateral incisor or canine acrylic resin teeth used in this study, has higher bond strength to denture base. Materials and methods: The glossy ridge-lap surface of 90 cross-linked acrylic resin maxillary anterior teeth of which, 30 were central incisors,30 were lateral incisors and 30 were canines.the specimens were divided into three similar groups, Group A: No further tooth preparation was carried out. Group B:A mesio-distal groove 2mm deep and 2mm wide was cut into the ridge-lap surface of tooth. Group C:A vertical groove 2mm deep and 2mm wide was cut into the center of the ridge-lap surface of tooth extending half way up the lingual surface. Similar teeth were mounted in numbers of ten on triangular shaped wax molds to produce nine wax mold specimens and then flasked.the wax was removed by flushing away with hot boiling water. After the process of dewaxing, the specimens were allowed to cool. At this stage plastic surfaces of teeth were painted with one coat of separating medium. Six acrylic mold specimens containing 10 acrylic resin teeth each were then prepared by conventional curing method of which three specimens were cured with DPI brand resin material and other three with TREVALON brand resin material. The monomer to polymer ratio was maintained at 1:3 by volume for all the samples. A pipette was used to transfer the required volume of monomer to a clean, dry, air tight porcelain mixing jar. Thepolymer was measured with a measuring cylinder and transferred to the jar containing monomer. Thorough mixing was done with a clean stainless steel spatula and the jar was closed till the mix reached dough stage. The resin was removed from mixing container and rolled into a rope like form and placed into upper half of the mold. The flask was re-assembled and was bench pressed by applying pressure incrementally. Pressure was applied until the major portions of the edges of the flask closely approximate one another. The flask with acrylic resin was allowed to bench cure for min. We are now with IC Value ISSN:

3 Acrylic Resin Teeth With Horizontal,No And Vertical Retentive Shear Bond Strength Testing: The specimens were subjected to testing on a universal testing machine INSTRON (model 6025). The test was initiated by applying load to the specimen at a specified cross head speed of 5mm/min at an angle of 0 to the long axis of the tooth until fracture occurred. The deflection was measured either by the gauge under the specimen in contact with it in the centre of support pan or by measurement of the motion of loading hose relative to the support. This test was conducted as per ASTM-D790. The site of fracture of tooth from resin model was recorded as through the tooth, through acrylic resin and at the tooth acrylic interface of all the teeth fractured at tooth acrylic interface.

7 N ** ** Indicate the teeth fractured during deflasking Discussion: Acrylic resin has become almost universal since its introduction in 1937 as a denture base material as well as the component of the resin cross-linked teeth. 7,8 This study was conducted to compare the shear bond strengths exhibited by denture base to maxillary anterior resin teeth with and without retentive grooves made on their ridge-lap surfaces. This study also concentrated on the comparison of shear bond strengths exhibited by cross linked acrylic resin maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors and canines used in this study. The results showed that the mean bond strength exhibited by those specimens without retentive grooves was 21.1Kg/sqcm, for those with horizontal grooves was Kg/sqcm and for those with vertical retentive grooves was Kg/sqcm.This indicated that specimens with vertical retentive grooves showed significantly higher bond strength than those with horizontal grooves and without grooves. The mean bond strengths obtained for central incisor was Kg/sqcm, for lateral incisor was.4kg/sqcm and for canine was Kg/sqcm, the highest among the three tooth types tested in this study.the Vertical retentive grooves showed a statistically significant superior retention in all tooth types. The vertical groove is closer to the point of application of force. A short lever arm requires greater force to separate the tooth from denture base.canine teeth bonded more securely to denture base resin than central incisors and lateral incisors. Thisfinding may be accounted for the ridgelap of canine presenting a greater surface area for bonding to acrylic resin. Morrow et.al using a tensile force to separate teeth from denture base resin found that from denture base resin found that bond strength of high impact resin to plastic teeth was significantly greater than standard resin.in the present study a combined shear compressive force was applied at an angle of 0degrees to simulate clinical conditions. Non significant stastical interactions was noted between tooth type and the retentive grooves.a significant statistical interaction was found between tooth type and denture base resin. Canine teeth bonded more securely to denture base resin than central and lateral incisors. This finding may be accounted for the ridge lap of canine presenting a greater surface area for bonding to acrylic resin. A significantly greater force was required to separate teeth from TREVALON than from DPI. Morrow et al., using a tensile force to separate teeth from denture base resin, found that bond strength of high impact resin to plastic teeth was significantly greater than standard resin. In the present study, a combined shear compressive force was applied at an angle of 0 to lingual surface of teeth to simulate clinical conditions. A statistically significant interaction was found between denture base resins and tooth type. TREVALON showed a ISSN:

8 better bond strength with all the types of teeth and it Acrylic resin has become almost universal since its introduction in 1937 as a denture base material as well as the component of the resin cross-linked teeth. This study was conducted to compare the shear bond strengths exhibited by two brands of conventional heat cure denture base resin materials DPI and TREVALON to cross linked acrylic resin maxillary anterior teeth of PREMADENT brand. This study also concentrated on the comparison of shear bond strengths exhibited by cross linked acrylic resin maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors and canines used in this study. The results showed that the mean bond strength exhibited by DPI heat cure denture base material was kg/cm 2 while the same for TREVALON was kg/cm 2 which indicated that TREVALON has a better bond strength compared to DPI denture base material. The mean bond strength for each tooth type tested also showed significant difference. The mean bond strength obtained for central incisor was kg/cm 2, for lateral incisor was.4 kg./cm 2, while that exhibited by canine tooth was kg./cm 2, the highest bond strength among the three types of teeth tested in this study. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the methodology of the study, the main conclusions which can be drawn are as follows. A significantly greater force was required to separate teeth with retentive grooves than without grooves from the denture base.. Canine tooth type with vertical retentive grooves exhibited higher bond strength when compared to other tooth types tested in this study.. No consistent trend was noted in the site of fracture for teeth with horizontal and vertical retentive grooves on application of force, all the teeth without retentive grooves fractured at the tooth acrylic resin interface. An increase in the ridge lap surface area of teeth resulted in an increase in shear bond strength References 1. CUNNINGHAM JL.Bond strength of denture teeth to acrylic bases.
