Title: Three-body wear of resin denture teeth with and without nanofillers. Author: Stober T, Henninger M, Schmitter M, Pritsch M, Rammelsberg P. Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2010 Feb; 103(2):108-17. PubMed ID: 20141815. Abstract: STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The wear behavior of newly developed denture teeth with nanofillers may be different from teeth with other chemical formulations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the 3-body wear resistance of 11 different commercially available resin denture teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The materials tested were conventional (SR Orthotyp PE, Orthognath) and cross-linked acrylic resin teeth without inorganic fillers (Premium 8, SR Postaris DCL, Trubyte Portrait, Artiplus), composite resin teeth with inorganic fillers (SR Orthosit PE, Vitapan), and composite resin teeth (experimental materials) with inorganic nanofillers (NC Veracia Posterior, e-Ha, Mondial). Human enamel and a ceramic denture tooth (Lumin Vacuum) were used as reference materials. The 3-body wear test was performed in a wear machine developed by the Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), with millet suspension acting as an abrasive medium (n=10, test load: 15 N, slip rate: 20%, number of cycles: 100,000). Wear was determined with the aid of a profilometer. Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test using the closed testing approach (significance level for familywise error rate, alpha=.05). RESULTS: None of the acrylic and composite resin materials tested in this study demonstrated the 3-body wear resistance of ceramic teeth or human enamel. Teeth with inorganic fillers demonstrated significantly lower wear values than conventional or cross-linked acrylic resin teeth without fillers. Composite resin teeth with traditional fillers showed significantly lower wear than composite resin teeth with nanofillers. CONCLUSIONS: Denture teeth with and without inorganic fillers differed significantly with regard to the degree of wear generated in the ACTA wear simulator. The incorporation of nanofillers did not improve the wear resistance compared to teeth with traditional fillers.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
