Background: Heat-cured acrylic resin is one of the commonly used dental materials for the manufacture of denture bases. Color stability in acrylic resins is one of the most important clinical signs of aging or material deterioration after a long period of use, which can affect aesthetics. Factors that can affect the color stability of heat-cured acrylic resin includes acidic foods/beverages. Pe…
Background: Thermoplastic nylon is a material that is flexible, has good esthetics, and is used as an alternative for individuals who are allergic to residual resin monomers and metals. However, thermoplastic nylon has a high water absorption rate, which affects its color stability. Color stability is one of the most important clinical properties in dentistry. One factor that can influence the …

Flexural strength is one of important mechanical properties of denture base. Recently, thermoplastic nylon has been used as an alternative material to acrylic resin denture base. The immersion period of denture base in liquid may affect its strength. “Pempek” is one of traditional food in Palembang, it is served with black and acidic liquid called “cuka pempek”. The aim of this study wa…
Leverage of denture base is one of the common problems that often happen in the use of class II Kennedy removcible partial denture. This is due to the presence of the pressure force on the denture that causes the loss of its retention against the displacement force that can alter the relationship between the oral tissue and the surface of the denture itself The acrylic removable partial denture…
The treatment for Kennedy Classification III is fixed partial denture (FPD) or removable partial denture (RPD). One of success indicator on prosthetic treatment is patient ’s satisfaction.
