[A light-hardened polymeric material for metal-plastic whole-cast fixed dentures]

Self-hardening material for metal plastic permanent dentures, has been developed by the Central Research Institute of Dentistry for the first time in Russia. Its physicomechanical properties are described and the results of toxicological trials are presented. The new material is superior in wear resistance to foreign analogs Kulzer Dentacolor and ESPE Visio-Gem. Toxicological studies demonstrated the biological inertness of the material during long contact with the internal media of human organism and the absence of toxic, sensitizing, and mutagenic action.
