Use of metal conditioner on reinforcement wires to improve denture repair strengths.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the transverse strength of denture base resin repaired with autopolymerizing resin and metal wire using a metal conditioner, along with the synergistic effect of a surface preparation for denture base resin. It was found that the use of Co-Cr-Ni wires air abraded with 50 microm alumina, followed by treatment with a metal conditioner and dichloromethane for denture base resin, was the most effective method for repairing fractured denture base resin.
