A STUDY ON DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF DENTURE BASE DISPLACEMENT USING SOFT DENTURE RELINING MATERIAL UNDER MASTICATORY FORCE

• Lee HY

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine how to use soft relining material by observing an amount of denture displacement according to the different base area of residual ridge and thickness of soft relining material under masticatory force. Stone models that simulated residual ridge were made with different amount of denture base area and denture was fabricated by conventional heat curing resin with usual manner on the model and relined by silicone type soft relining material with different thickness. Specimen was examined the amount of denture displacement by Instron within range of normal occlusal force. The results were as following: 1. The increasing rate of denture displacement was higher than that of soft relining material thickness. 2. The amount of denture displacement decreased 1.7 times when base area became double at same thickness of soft relining material 3. The increasing rate of denture displacement was higher than that of occlusal force
