Abstract
Purpose
: As the fabrication of computer-aided design (CAD) milled and 3D printed denture base resins with bonded denture teeth increase in popularity, there is a need for research comparing the shear bond stress of milled and printed denture base resins with bonded denture teeth to that of a conventional heat processed denture base.
Materials and methods
: Denture base resin specimens (n = 9) were fabricated according to manufacturers' instructions using a novel test design. Two milled (Ivobase CAD PMMA, Ivoclar Vivadent and Polident PMMA, Polident Dental) and two 3D printed (Denture Base LP Resin, Formlabs and Lucitone Digital Print, Dentsply Sirona) materials were used. Conventional heat processed polymethylmethacrylate was used as the control (Lucitone 199, Dentsply Sirona, USA). Denture teeth (VITA Vitapan XL T44, #8, VITA Zahnfabrik) were bonded to their respective bases using denture tooth bonding agent (Ivobase CAD bonding system, Ivoclar). Specimens were aged in water for 600 hours at 37˚C and loaded until failure in a Universal testing machine. Shear bond stress was calculated. All specimens were evaluated for mode of failure and select specimens under scanning electron microscope and vertical scanning interferometry. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test (IBM SPSS) and fracture analysis performe d.
Results
: Shear stress was highest for the heat processed control (mean = 180 N ±26.76) and Polident test groups (mean = 180 N ±34.90). Milled specimens were not significantly different from the control (p = 0.076 for IvoBase CAD and 1.00 for Polident), while the printed groups were significantly different from the control (p = 0.012 for Formlabs Denture Base Resin and p = 000 for Carbon Lucitone Digital Print). Milled denture base resins perform similarly to heat processed denture base resin and better than 3D printed denture bases.
Conclusion
: For complete denture wearers, all resin materials used in this study may be clinically acceptable, as the sheer stress for all groups was higher than the reported maximum biting force of complete denture patients. However, for implant retained prostheses, the incorporation of additional retentive features should be considered when bonding denture teeth to printed bases. More research is needed to evaluate methods to increase the bond strength of denture teeth to printed denture base resins.
