Powder-Liquid VLC reline resin REBARON LC has several outstanding features: excellent initial fluidity, minimal deformation during removal, easy manipulation, etc.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on the adhesive strength of REBARON LC to the denture base resin by two different experiments.
Experiment 1: Adhesive strength of five hard direct reline resins to a denture base resin (ACRON) tested in tension and shearing tests.
Experiment 2: Adhesive strength of REBARON LC to five denture base resins tested in tension test.
The following results were obtained:
1. The adhesive strength of five hard direct reline resins showed a similar tendency in both tension and shearing tests.
2. In the adhesive strength of five hard direct reline resins to denture base resin, the adhesive strength of Rebaron was the highest and Koo Liner was the lowest. There were no significant differences among TOKUSO REBASE, TRIAD and REBARON LC.
3. From the observations by SEM, REBARON LC adhered uniformly to denture base resin but TRIAD showed a bonding layer between reline resin and denture base resin.
4. In the adhesive strength of REBARON LC to five denture base resins, the adhesive strength to Palapress was the highest, followed by META-DENT, ACRON MC, ACRON and TRIAD.
