Pages 69-72, Language: EnglishCunningham / BeningtonThe bond strength of denture teeth to acrylic resin denture bases was determined by producing tensile test specimens from standardised and anonymously presented partial dentures. Ten dentures were produced by randomly selected commercial dental laboratories and five were produced in a university dental laboratory. The tooth debonding forces exhibited a wide range of variation both within and between dentures. The university produced dentures showed, on average a slightly improved tooth bond strength. This study highlights the need for further investigation of this problem and for the development of a standardised technique to provide satisfactory denture tooth bonding.
