CONCEPTS ON THE RESISTANCE OF ACRYLIC TEETH, PMMA

Abstract

Artificial acrylic teeth, also known as dentures, are a common solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. Wear of artificial acrylic teeth can be influenced by several factors, such as: if dentures are ulilized and worn every day, they can suffer from gradual wear over time. Mastication and friction against other hard surfaces can lead to a gradual deterioration of artificial teeth. It is very important how artificial acrylic dental compositions are made, but more importantly it seems that it is the stratification that is of particular importance when we talk about wear resistance. The studies performed so far are quite relative because each tooth lining can withstand depending on the component of the constructive elements.
