Effect of chemical cleaning agents on the flexural strength of acrylic and hard denture line resins.

This study sought to evaluate the disinfectants, Efferdent (EF) and 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (SH), and their effects on the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of the hard denture liners, Kooliner (K) and New Truliner (NT), and a thermoacrylic resin, QC-20. Ninety specimens were made (50 mm x 10 mm x 3 mm) and divided into 9 groups (n = 10).

Fatigue performance of joints executed in pure titanium structures with several diameters.

This study evaluated fatigue strength of CP-Ti laser-welded joints. Sixty (20/diameter) CP-Ti casted dumbbell rods with diameters of 1.5, 2.

Radiographic inspection of porosity in Ti-6Al-4V laser-welded joints.

Widely used in dentistry, Ti-6Al-4V alloy is difficult to cast and solder, as it frequently exhibits pores inside the structure. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of joint openings and diameters of laser-welded joints executed in Ti-6Al-4V structures on the presence of pores as checked by radiographic procedures. Sixty dumbbell rods with central diameters of 1.

Misfit of pure titanium frameworks: effect of veneer coverage and spark erosion process.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of veneer application on the misfit level of implant-supported frameworks. MATERIALS AND METHODS.

Effects of laser-weld joint opening size on fatigue strength of Ti-6Al-4V structures with several diameters.

This study was conducted to evaluate the fatigue strength of Ti-6Al-4V laser-welded joints with several diameters and joint openings. Sixty dumbbell rods were machined in Ti-6Al-4V alloy with central diameters of 1·5, 2·0 and 3·5 mm. The specimens were sectioned and then welded using two joint openings (0·0 and 0·6 mm).
