Abstract:
The authors previously reported on the strengthening effect of a thin Ni-Cr plate on an acrylic resin test specimen in the three-point bending test. This study evaluated the reinforcement of acrylic resin denture bases by measuring the strain distribution in the palate of a maxillary complete denture. It was found that this reinforcing technique led to a uniform distribution of strain in the palatal area of the maxillary denture and a reduction of strain in the midpalatal area.
