Analysis of bond strength between a nylon reinforcement structure and dental resins.

Background: Nylon is a polymer that its use to reinforce dental resins has shown positive results such as increased flexural strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between dental resins and a nylon reinforcement.

Material And Methods: Forty cylindrical nylon blocks with 13 x 23 mm with 0.

Stress distribution of complete-arch implant-supported prostheses reinforced with silica-nylon mesh.

Background: This study evaluated the presence of a silica-nylon mesh and two cantilever lengths on the biomechanical behavior of complete-arch implant-supported prostheses.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four (24) complete mandibular arch implant-supported prostheses were divided into 4 groups according to the presence of reinforcing mesh (with or without) and the cantilever length (molar - 15 mm or premolar - 5 mm). The specimens were submitted to strain gauge analysis (30-kgf, 10 s) at different points (molar and premolar).
