Abstract

The pressure transmission under denture base may be different based on different artificial teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate pressure transmission of acrylic and porcelain artificial teeth on thermoplastic nylon denture base. Mandibular first molar acrylic and porcelain artificial teeth embedded on 15x15x3 mm3 thermoplastic nylon denture base were evaluated (n=16). A 100 N force was applied on the specimen using universal testing machine and the pressure transmitted under the specimen was observed using pressure transducer. The data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney test (α=.05). Porcelain artificial teeth showed significantly higher pressure transmission than acrylic artificial teeth (P<.05). This study can help dentists to determine the design of dentures, especially in the selection of artificial teeth material.
