The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reinforcing effect of self-curing typeresin denture using Co-Cr alloy wrought clasp wires coated with self-curing type 4-META adhesiveresin (Metafast). The evaluation was carried out by comparing the values of the load atproportional limit and the deflection under 2 kg load obtained by the transverse test.
Using Co-Cr alloy clasp wires as strengtheners with self-curing type 4-META adhesive resin inself-curing type resin denture base, greater values of the load at proportional limit and smallervalues of the deflection under 2 kg load were obtained.
