Abstract: | Due to gradual resorption of the edentulous ridge bone, removable prostheses often require denture base relines to improve fit and stability. This research evaluated the bond strength between one heat-cured acrylic resin (Lucitone 550(R)) and two hard chairside reline resins, after two different periods of storage in water (50 h and 30 days). The bond strength was evaluated using a tensile test. The mode of failure, adhesive or cohesive, was also recorded. The results submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated that the highest tensile strengths were achieved with intact Lucitone 550(R) denture base resin in both periods of storage in water. After 50 h of storage in water, Duraliner II(R) reline material exhibited the highest bond strength to the denture base resin. After 30 days of storage in water, Duraliner II(R) reline resin demonstrated a significant reduction in adhesion, showing lower tensile bond strength than Kooliner(R) material. Both hard chairside reline materials failed adhesively across Lucitone 550(R) denture base resin, in both periods of time. |
