Resin teeth, mainly made of methyl
methacrylate. Its hardness is moderate, its shape and color are similar to
natural teeth, it is not easy to be broken, and it is well combined with the
base material. It is very convenient to grind and modify the anatomy and
polishing.
In the process of communicating resin teeth
with doctors, many doctors ask, How hard is this tooth? Is it hard enough? It
seems that if the hardness is not high, it is not a good tooth, or the hardness
is not high or it is not wearable.

First of all, whether it is a good denture
index: realistic, hardness, wear resistance, dye resistance, occlusion, etc.; in
general, the occlusal relationship of dentures produced by regular
manufacturers is qualified, because once the mold scale is used, If the bite
relationship is not good, it will cause more damage to the manufacturer; for
the realistic features, it is generally determined by the denture layer color,
the higher the layer color is, the more realistic; for the hardness, the
hardness of the resin teeth of all brands currently on the market is
Standardized. Therefore, the selection of resin teeth is mainly based on the
wear resistance and dye resistance.
To understand the wear resistance of resin
teeth, the relationship between hardness and wear resistance must first be
solved. The average person thinks that the hardness is equal to the wear
resistance, as long as the hardness is high and the wear resistance will be
high; this is not the case. The reason is very simple, the hardness of steel is
high, but as the brake pads of the car, the rubber material is used; after the
cement and the sand become the concrete, the hardness is much improved, but
when the floor is smoothed, the pure cement is used. Because pure cement has
higher wear resistance. For dentures with high hardness, the wear resistance
will be improved, but if the hardness is improved by using different material
principles, the wear resistance may not be improved. Therefore, what we are
looking for is a denture with high wear resistance, not a denture with high
hardness.

Regarding the dye resistance of the resin
tooth, it is mainly related to the material used for the resin tooth containing
no inorganic filler. So we need to understand how the resin teeth are
classified from the material aspect. From the basic raw materials, resin teeth
can be divided into two categories: one is a synthetic resin tooth containing
an inorganic filler, and the other is a synthetic resin tooth containing no
inorganic filler. Resin teeth of these two types of materials may be separated
into new categories due to differences in structure or molecular weight.

Resin teeth containing inorganic fillers
have high hardness, but the dye resistance is significantly reduced. Why is it
important to contain anti-staining properties for dentures? Resin teeth
containing inorganic fillers, equivalent to pure resin materials contain some
small particles, there are many gaps around these small particles, especially
after the occlusal surface after grinding, after the small particles are
exposed, on the one hand, the polishing position is polished. If it is not
bright, on the one hand, the position of the grinding will be colored soon.
In summary, when the inorganic material is
contained in the resin material, the resin teeth hardness performance is greatly improved,
but the abrasion resistance and the dye resistance are remarkably lowered.
Therefore, if we pursue high hardness, we must lose the need for wear and
anti-staining.
