title: The effect of retention grooves in acrylic resin teeth on tooth denture-base bond.
abstract: A progressive shear compressive load was applied at an angle to the lingual surface of acrylic resin teeth bonded to denture base acrylic resin. No statistically significant advantage was derived by preparing retention grooves of different shapes in the ridge lap surface of the denture teeth.
