Investigation of the wear resistance of different artificial teeth materials in removable dentures
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the wear characteristics of acrylic resins, composite resins and ceramic materials used in removable dentures. A total of 88 samples (n = 88) were subjected to simulated chewing cycles using a wear-testing apparatus. The wear depths were measured using profilometry and statistical analyses were performed to assess the differences among the materials. Ceramics exhibited superior wear resistance compared to acrylic and composite resins in removable dentures. These findings highlight the importance of material selection for the optimization of denture longevity and patient satisfaction.
