Flexural properties of denture base polymers.

I E Ruyter, S A Svendsen

    The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Heat-polymerized denture base materials exhibit superior flexural properties compared to autopolymerized types. Cross-linking agents like EGDMA and 1,4-BDMA influence these properties, with testing environment (air vs. water) also playing a role.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Polymer Chemistry

    Background:

    • Denture base materials are crucial for oral prosthetics.
    • Understanding material properties like flexural strength is key for denture longevity.
    • Cross-linking agents significantly impact polymer network structure and performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the flexural properties of heat-polymerized and autopolymerized denture base materials.
    • To investigate the influence of different cross-linking agents (1,4-BDMA and EGDMA) on material performance.
    • To evaluate the effect of testing environment (air vs. water) on flexural properties.

    Main Methods:

    • Mechanical testing of denture base resins under controlled loading rates.
    • Comparison of materials with varying cross-linking agents (1,4-BDMA, EGDMA).
    • Evaluation of flexural properties in both air and water environments.

    Main Results:

    • Heat-polymerized materials showed similar flexural properties regardless of 1,4-BDMA or EGDMA content.
    • All heat-polymerized materials outperformed autopolymerized materials at a low loading rate (2 N/minute).
    • Autopolymerized materials with 1,4-BDMA had intermediate flexural properties compared to heat-polymerized and EGDMA-cross-linked autopolymerized resins.

    Conclusions:

    • Heat-polymerized denture base materials offer superior flexural performance.
    • The choice of cross-linking agent and polymerization method influences material properties.
    • Testing in water can lead to reduced flexural properties due to solvent crazing.
