Editor's Notes
- #5 The ancient Egyptians have practiced dentistry since 3000BC. In addition, since 700 BC it has been used as a mode to replacing teeth. From then on there has been a process in trying to improve the materials, the aesthetics, function and comfort.
- #6 Wood has been used for years because it was readily available, inexpensive and could be carved to a desired shape. A Buddhist priestess Nakoka Tei used it in 1538. Disadvantages are that it warped and cracked in moisture, aesthetic, unhygienic, and degraded in the mouth.
- #7 Pierre Fauchard was a pioneer in dental prosthesis in 1678 – 1761. He fabricated the use of bone by measuring individual arches with a compass and cutting bone to fit the arch. It was advantageous because of its availability reasonable cost better dimensional stability than wood and carvability. The disadvantages were that the aesthetic and hygienic concerns were not fulfilled.
- #8 Alexis Duchateau (1774) was the first to fabricate porcelain dentures. In 1788, a French dentist, Nicholas Dubois de Chemant, made a baked-porcelain complete denture in a single block. The advantages were that it could be shaped easily , ensured close contact with the underlying tissues, was stable and smooth , less porosity , low solubility but its drawbacks were brittleness and difficulty in grinding and polishing. G.Fonzi an Italian dentist in Paris invented the Porcelain teeth that revolutionized the 1788 A.D. Improvement and construction development of porcelain dentures. Loomis (1854), Charles H Land (1890) and Alexander Gutowski (1962) experimented with porcelain dentures.
- #9 Charles Goodyear, in 1839, discovered the process of vulcanization (converting rubber into more durable compounds by adding sulphur or other groups) of rubber by heating natural rubber (caotachouc), sulphur and white lead together. In 1851, Goodyear used this technique to produce a highly cross-linked hard rubber named Vulcanite after the Roman god. The fit of these vulcanite bases allowed self-retaining dentures, making earlier spring type dentures useless. These were the first functional, durable and affordable dentures, marking a great advancement in dent al treatment . The main disadvantage of these denture bases was their dark red colour , which was difficult to pigment, and absorption of saliva making it unhygienic. Vulcanite dentures were very popular until the 1940s, until acrylic (pink plastic) denture bases replaced them.
- #10 CF Harrington (1850) introduced the first thermoplastic denture material, the tortoise shell base. Gutta Percha (latex) Edwin Truman (1851) used Gutta percha as a denture base but it was unstable. Alfred A Blandy (1856) made dentures from a low fusing alloy of silver , bismuth and antimony but it was never accepted. ALUMINIUM CELLULOID: J. Smith Hyatt (1869) introduced celluloid that was later used as a denture base material because of its translucency and pink colour . However, this material did not gain much popularity because of distortion and discolouration. BAKELITE STAI NLESS STEEL and BASE METAL ALLOYS: Ni-Cr and Co-Cr were obtained by E. Haynes (1907) but they gained popularity after 1937 because of their low density , low material cost, higher resistance to tarnish and corrosion and high modulus of elasticity . Allergy to Nickel and difficulty in adjustment posed a practical problem. VINYL RESIN
- #11 POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE Dr. Walter Wright (1937) introduced Polymethyl methacrylate as a denture base material which became the major polymer to be used in the next ten years. In 1946, 95 per cent of all denture bases were PMMA. It had a good stable colour corresponding to the gums, Inert and translucent, reasonably robust, inexpensive and easy to repair
- #13 An ideal denture base material should be able to match the appearance of the natural oral soft tissue. The importance of this property depends on whether it is visible when the patient opens their mouth. A high Tg temperature so the base does not distort or soften during use. Although, the patient’s mouth has a temperature of between 32 – 37 degrees they are capable of drinking hot drinks of almost 70 degrees and sometimes-clean dentures in hot water. Good dimensional stability so that the denture does not change over time. This could be due to thermal softening but also internal stresses of the jaw during biting and water absorption, which may lead to instability. Low value of specific gravity so that the denture is as light as possible. Thus, reducing the gravitational displacing forces. Thermal conductivity so that the oral mucosa would remain healthy and so that the patient will have a normal reaction to hot and cold stimuli. If it is a thermal insulator than the patient may drink a drink too hot to bear and so that once it reaches the throat and gut he will fell pain.
- #15 Gold – Inert and is dense, soft and malleable. Co-Cr alloy – Has a very high specific strength Titanium - two most useful properties of the metal are corrosion resistance and the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element. Vitallium - alloy of 60% cobalt, 20% chromium, 5% molybdenum, and other substances. Used in because of its light weight and resistance to corrosion
- #16 Acrylic – Translucent, Good adhesion, Resist cracking and blistering Polystyrene – clear (so can be coloured) , hard and brittle Valpast - Better aesthetics. Good memory, flexible, affordable.
