IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE PLASTIC MICROSTRUCTURE, REDUCING THE NUMBER OF RESIDUAL MONOMER AND MAINTAINING ORIGINAL DIMENSIONS OF THE REMOVABLE DENTURE IN THE NEW DEMOUNTABLE CUVETTE

Abstract

From the standpoint of the policy of import substitution, financial feasibility, accessibility and ease of use, the search for effective methods and the development of new methods for the manufacture of removable dentures is a relevant task. A method of manufacturing removable laminar dentures using the authors’ double screw compression cuvette is presented. The components of the cuvette are described in detail, the technique of manufacturing removable dentures using this cuvette, the advantages of the proposed methodology for manufacturing removable dentures using the proposed author’s cuvette are highlighted. A new design of the cuvette for manufacturing removable dentures (double screw compression cuvette) was developed. It was established that the monomer content in the denture made using this cuvette was less than in the brass standard cuvettes, and the original sizes of the denture did not change. Replacing traditional brass cuvettes with double screw compression cuvettes will allow reaching a new level of manufacturing removable dentures without either significant financial and labor costs, or purchasing imported technologies.
