Identification marks on dentures applied with pens were lost quickly. Covering marks with sealants, especially an experimental one, significantly improved their persistence under service conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Accurate identification of dentures is crucial for patient safety and preventing mix-ups.
  • Traditional marking methods may lack durability under oral conditions.
  • Need for robust methods to ensure long-term legibility of denture identification marks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the persistence of identification marks on dentures.
  • To compare the effectiveness of different marking materials and protective sealants.
  • To assess the performance of an experimental sealant versus a proprietary one.

Main Methods:

  • Identification marks were applied to dentures using spirit solvent-based fibre tip pens and graphite pencil.
  • Marks were protected with either an experimental sealant or a proprietary sealant.

  • Denture samples were subjected to service conditions to simulate real-world use.
  • Persistence of the identification marks was visually assessed over time.

    • Main Results:

    • Marks applied with fibre tip pens showed rapid degradation and loss.
    • Marks covered with both experimental and proprietary sealants demonstrated satisfactory persistence.
    • The experimental sealant exhibited slightly superior durability compared to the proprietary sealant.

    Conclusions:

    • Sealants significantly enhance the longevity of identification marks on dentures.
    • An experimental sealant shows promising results for improving denture identification mark durability.
    • Further research into optimized sealant formulations for prosthodontic applications is warranted.
