TRIBOLOGICAL TESTS AND IMPACT TESTS OF ACRYLIC POLYMERS FOR DENTAL PROSTHETICS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 280, Issue 4
Abstract
The clinical functionality of the prosthesis structure consists of creating the most convenient conditions without any traumatic effects of chewing forces on the substrate and adapting it to the individual biomechanical exclusions of the stomatognathic system (SS). When transferring functional loads, the optimization of tribological features and the ability to absorb energy is an important design and material parameter. The aim is to evaluate acrylic plastics intended for prostheses in terms of resistance to wear and resistance to movement in sliding contact within the environment of artificial saliva and their ability to absorb energy. Based on the analysis of the test results, it can be pointed out that Vertex is a good material for partial and complete dentures. Villacryl demonstrated similar properties, with Probase and Probase O being slightly worse. The appropriate mechanical parameters of the materials used in the prosthesis allow the production of thin plates that accurately reproduce the prosthetic substrate and improve the patient’s comfort of use through such a fit.<br/><br/>
