Full denture fabrication

Dentures break because the acrylic resin used to make them is fragile.  They can easily fracture due to shock if dropped.  Denture base resin is exposed to various stresses on mastication such as compressive strength, tensile stress and sheer stresses (Beyli, 1981).  Flexural fatigue occurs after flexing the material repeatedly and the structure eventually fails.  This is due to the development of microscopic cracks in areas of stress concentration which quickly grow to significantly weaken the material (Wiskot, 1995).

Traditional metal reinforcement solutions are not ideal as they only increase transverse strength slightly (Jenning, R.E. & Wuebbenhorst, A.M., 1960).  They don’t bond to denture resin, they are difficult to form and work with, they are not esthetically pleasing, and add unnecessary weight and discomfort to patients.

Overview:

Fiber Force® dentures can be made very thin (approx 2.5mm). In these cases, the mesh will be visible.

However the FIBER FORCE mesh is invisible in a standard thickness denture.
