Fabrication of complete denture bases reinforced with polyethylene woven fabric

Abstract:
Incorporation of 5 layers of woven, high-modulus polyethylene fiber into acrylic resin denture bases produces substantial improvements in mechanical properties and dimensional changes. A modified split-pack technique has been developed using conventional dental-laboratory compression molding to accommodate multiple layers of woven fabric in complete denture bases. A recess formed in the resin by a spacer allows the reinforcement to be embedded in the denture base without exposing the fibers. Embedded fibers do not compromise the esthetics of complete dentures.
