title: Use of metal conditioner on reinforcement wires to improve denture repair strengths.
abstract: 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.
