Various Methods of Surface Pre-treatment on the Denture Base Acrylic Resin to Improve its Bond Strength to the Soft Liner

Abstract

Successful construction of the denture using two different types of materials relies partly on a satisfactory bond between the materials. The most common reason for failure of a soft-lined denture was the failure of "adhesion" between the liner and denture base. To improve the bond between a soft liner and a denture base material, various surface pretreatments for the denture base acrylic have been studied and used. They may be categorized into mechanical, chemical, mechano-chemical and plasma treatment. A detailed review of these existing surfaces pretreatment is lacking in the literature.
