title: [Solvent power of new denture cleaner for denture calculus and the influence of this cleaner on the denture materials].
abstract: In order to chemically remove the calculus adhering to a denture, new denture cleaner was prepared on an experimental basis. The principal ingredient of this solution was a chilating agent which contained the phosphoric acid. This study consisted of the fundamental and the clinical examinations of this solution the purpose of which was to test the solvent power of this solution on the calculus and to evaluate its influence on the denture materials and its effectiveness in clinical practice. 1. the fundamental study 1) method (1) The test for the solvent power of this solution. The powder of tricalcium phosphate (T.C.P. powder: Wakohjunyaku Co.) was substituted for the calculus adhering to a denture. (1) The influence of the solution temperature on the solvent power. The T.C.P. powder was dissolved at 20 degrees C, 30 degrees C, 40 degrees C, 50 degrees C and 60 degrees C temperature in 10 g of the solution within 10 minutes and the amount of dissolved powder was weighted. The time was measured with a stop watch (Seiko Co.) until 0.5 g of T.C.P. powder had been dissolved in 10 g of the solution. (2) The effect of using it with an ultrasonic cleaner. The time to dissolve 0.1 g of T.C.P. powder in 10 g of this solution was compared with that of the 15% EDTA solution. The measurement was repeated 5 times and the arithmetic mean of the 5 sample values was calculated in order to show the experimental results. The room temperature was 19 +/- 2 degrees C, the humidity was 56 +/- 3%. (2) The influence of this solution on the denture materials. (1) resin specimen. In order to test the transverse strength, transverse deflection, Young's modulus and Knoop hardness, resin specimens were processed in the manner specified in I.S.O. 1567. The data were compared the resin specimens steeped in this solution and with the control sample that was steeped in water. The specimens were immersed up to 24 hours. Furthermore the existence of tarnish was observed with a 40 times microscope. (2) metal specimen. In order to test the corrosion, metal specimens were produced according to the manner of a corrosion test. The metal specimens were held vertically and the end immersed to 20 mm in this solution for 24 hours and 120 hours each. After steeping, each specimen was measured for loss in weight. The data were calculated as the loss in weight per hour (mg/cm) and the depth of corrosion per year (mm/yr).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
