An In-Vitro Evaluation of the Flexural Strength of Heat-Polymerized Poly (Methyl Methacrylate) Denture Resin Reinforced with Fibers

Abstract: Fracture strength of denture base resins is of great concern and many approaches have been made to improve the fracture resistance of acrylic resin dentures by strengthening them. Purpose of the study was to assess the effect of a Novel pre-impregnated glass fiber reinforcement system and nylon fiber reinforcement on the flexural strength of conventional heat-polymerized poly(methylmethacrylate) [PMMA] denture resin under dry and wet storage conditions. Forty specimens of standard dimensions were prepared for … Show more

“…Ladha & Shah [30] reported that the reinforcement of denture base resin with preimpregnated glass fibers may be a useful means of strengthening denture bases. Da Silva et al [31] said that the addition of glass fiber did not increase the flexural strength however the use of a resin-based composite produced significant reinforcement.…”

“…The maximum force ( F ), which generated the fracture of the specimen, was measured in Newtons (N). The flexural strength (FS) was calculated with the following expression: σ=3italicFl2bd2 where σ is the flexural strength, F is the maximum fracture force (N), l is the distance between the two supporting points (mm), b is the specimen width (mm), and d is the specimen height (mm) . The fractured ends of the sample were analyzed with SEM imaging.…”

“…In this paper, samples reinforced with glass-aramid and carbon-aramid hybrids were additionally tested. The addition of glass fibers to aramid fibers optimizes the strength parameters due to their high elasticity [21][22][23].…”
