    Abstract:
    Acrylic denture may be fractured easily because it has a relatively poor resistance to stresses of impact, and the thick acrylic denture base also uncomforted to denture wearers. In this study, for improvement of the mechanical properties, the FRP is applied to the denture base, and try to make a thin denture base. Using the visible light-curing system, the laboratory fabrication time is saved dramatically. To develop the visible light-cured FRP denture base, with various combination of matrix resins and reinforcements, the physical properties of FRP plates were investigated first. From the results of the bending test, hardness test, and manipulation considering, the sateen weave's glasscloth was choose as the reinforcement of the prepreg. The matrix resin of Bis-GMA/UDMA/3G at 48/48/4 wt% was determined. The 3 plies glasscloth included FRP plate is 0.8 mm thickness has the maximum bending strength about 50 kgf/mm2, which is about 5 times larger than that of acrylic resin. Succeeding the study of above, the FRP denture base was fabricated by using the 0.8 mm thickness 3 plies included prepreg. This repreg is manufactured in sheet form beforehand, which is ease to manipulate at laboratory. By using the visible light curing system, it is only taken 10 min. to make a FRP denture base. The following procedures of fabricating a FRP denture is the same as metalplate denture. The visible-light cured FRP denture has some advantages such as accuracy of fit, ease of fabrication and manipulation, and only 0.8 mm thickness but has superior strength.
