Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the flexural properties of a recently introduced urethane dimethacrylate denture base material (Eclipse) after being repaired with two different materials.
Materials And Methods: Two repair groups and a control group consisting of 10 specimens each were generated. The ES group was repaired with auto-polymerizing polymer. The EE group was repaired with the Eclipse. The E group was left intact as a control group. A 3-point bending test device which was set to travel at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min was used. Specimens were loaded until fracture occurred and the mean displacement, maximum load, flexural modulus and flexural strength values and standard deviations were calculated for each group and the data were statistically analyzed. The results were assessed at a significance level of P<.05.
Results: The mean "displacement", "maximum load before fracture", "flexural strength" and "flexural modulus" rates of Group E were statistically significant higher than those of Groups ES and EE, but no significant difference (P>.05) was found between the mean values of Group ES and EE. There was a statistically significant positive relation (P<.01) between the displacement and maximum load of Group ES (99.5%), Group EE (94.3%) and Group E (84.4%).
Conclusion: The more economic and commonly used self-curing acrylic resin can be recommended as an alternative repair material for Eclipse denture bases.

Effectiveness of different surface treatments on bond strength between 3D-printed teeth and denture base.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of different surface treatments and thermal cycling on the shear bond strength between 3D-printed teeth and denture bases.
Material And Methods: For the shear bond strength (SBS) test, the specimens were the maxillary central incisors (11 × 9 × 7 mm) bonded on a cylindrical base (20 × 25 mm). The control group was heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) (N = 20).

3D printing of materials which combine fracture toughness, high modulus and high strength is quite challenging. Most commercially available 3D printing resins contain a mixture of multifunctional (meth)acrylates. The resulting 3D printed materials are therefore brittle and not adapted for the preparation of denture bases.

Aim: (1) To compare the temperature rise in the pulp chamber with different resin materials used for making provisional fixed partial dentures in anterior and posterior region while using Polyvinylsiloxane impression materials as matrix. (2) To identify a superior provisionalization material based on the amount of heat dissipated suitable for anterior and posterior provisional fixed partial denture fabrication.

Contact allergies to dental materials in patients.

Article Synopsis
- Concerns about allergic reactions to dental materials are increasing among patients, prompting a need to analyze current sensitization patterns.
- A study of 2730 patients revealed that women, particularly those over 40, showed the highest sensitization rates to metals like nickel and palladium, as well as to (meth)acrylates.
- The findings suggest that patch testing for contact allergies should also include (meth)acrylates and natural substances like propolis, rather than focusing solely on metals.
28Assessment of thermal variations in the pulpal chamber during fabrication of provisionals using two different techniques and three materials.

Background: The issue of an increase in pulpal temperature affects direct and indirect techniques, where the fabricating material will come in direct contact with the prepared teeth.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the pulpal thermal variations during provisional fabrication using direct and indirect-direct techniques, with three commonly commercially available provisional fabricating materials.
Method: In this vitro analytical study, 120 extracted human teeth were placed in a dentulous mould and dental stone was poured, to create a working model with an embedded natural right maxillary central incisor.
