title: Simple methods for denture identification: a clinical trial.
abstract: The persistence of identification marks applied to dentures with two spirit solvent based fibre tip pens and graphite pencil covered with an experimental and a proprietary sealant were studied under service conditions. In general, the marks applied with the pens were rapidly lost, but those covered with the sealants persisted satisfactorily. The experimental sealant performed slightly better than the proprietary product.
