Acrylic resins reinforced with woven highly drawn linear polyethylene fibres. 2. Water sorption and clinical trials.

The results reported in this paper are part of a continuing study of the reinforcement of acrylic denture base resins with highly drawn linear polyethylene fibres. Water sorption is significantly reduced by incorporation of these fibres, even though the water diffusion processes as such remain broadly unaffected. Clinical trials are encouraging and the reinforced dentures have been well accepted by all the patients.link_to_subscribed_fulltex

Acrylic resins reinforced with highly drawn linear polyethylene woven fibres. 1. Construction of upper denture bases.

This paper presents a detailed description of the construction of complete acrylic upper dentures reinforced with highly drawn linear polyethylene fibres. The work forms part of a continuing project to elucidate the properties and potential of the new system.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
