A comparative analysis of the bond strengths of three different brands of locally-manufactured acrylic resin teeth Eldred M. Holgado, Ma. Magdalena G. Tan. 21 leaves Seminar Paper--Doctor of Dental Medicine--University of the Philippines Manila. This study was conducted to determine the bond strengths of three difference brands of locally-manufactured acrylic resin teeth namely, Leeformatron, Biodent and NaturaDent. Thirty samples were made for each brand by processing the acrylic denture base material with the pontics positioned at the center and with the ridge lap portion of the pontics normal to the long axis of the cylindrical molds. The specimens were then machined in a lathe to a diameter of 6 ± .25 mm and loaded in tension using the Instron by 3M until rupture occured. The resulting average bond strengths showed that only 2 out of the 3 brands tested comply with ADA specification No. 15 for acrylic resin teeth. Dental amalgams. Fillings (Dentistry). Dental cements.
