Evaluation of the Bond Strength between the Acrylic Teeth and Reinforced or Non-reinforced Complete Denture Base

The fracture strength, or load-bearing capacity, of complete dentures reinforced with carbon fibers was increased compared to complete dentures with non-reinforced bases. Reduction in gap size at the interface between the acrylic teeth and the base of complete dentures was influenced by the mechanical-chemical treatment of the lower surface of acrylic teeth, while reinforcement of the complete denture base with carbon fibers had no effect on the bond strength.
