Esthetics
Metal bases are thinner than acrylic resin, and still have
adequate strength
Indications
Relining
Contour restoration
Porcelain or acrylic resin artifical teeth attached
with acrylic resin
Metal teeth
Chemical bonding
Using modern cross linked polymers
2. Tribochemical coating
Sandblasting of metal framework with special silica particle
material, Rocatec Plus.
Addition of silane to form a chemical bond between silicate
layer and denture base acrylic resin.
3.
Denture base acrylic resins formulated with 4 META provide a
mechanism of bonding acrylic resin to metal.
