Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how different chemical surface treatments affect the bond strength between acrylic teeth and denture bases.
- Three groups were tested: a control group with no treatment, one treated with monomethyl methacrylate monomer, and another treated with acetone, with shear bond strength measured for each.
- Results indicated that acetone treatment provided the strongest bond (183.21 N), followed by monomethyl methacrylate (171.64 N) and the control group (149.32 N), highlighting acetone's effectiveness in enhancing adhesion in dental prosthetics.
