title: Effect of retention grooves on tooth-denture base bond.
abstract: The bond strength of acrylic resin teeth with and without retention grooves processed onto standard and high-impact denture base resin was investigated. A shear compressive force was applied at an angle of 130 degrees to the lingual surface of the teeth until fracture occurred. The values were subjected to a two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. Canine teeth bonded better than central or lateral incisors (p less than 0.01). A significantly greater force was required to fracture teeth from high-impact resin (p less than 0.01). Vertical retention grooves enhanced bond strength (p less than 0.01).
