Retention of a Posterior ResinBonded Fixed Partial Denture with a Modified Design - an in vitro study. Marcia Helena Marangoni Rubo Degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Dentistry University of Toronto 1998 Abstract ln vitro retention of a RBFPD made wlh a modified design (MD) was compared to that of a curent design (CD) using five experimental groups (G). G1 (CD) included proximal grooves (PG), occlusal rests (OR) and lingual wings (LW). G2 and G3 (MD) were similar to G1 however PG were replaced with retentive slots (SL). G4 had only SL. G5 had OR, LW and non-retentive Si. Air abraded castings (nonprecious alloy) were cemented with Cernent-lt (G1,G2. G4 and G5) and Panavia 21 (G3).Following storage (7d), prostheses were subjected to compressive load cycling and then separated in tension. Mean separation forces in N were: G1: 360.9 - G2: 525.4 - G3: 562.2 - G4: 448.6 - G5: 417.1 Statistical analysis showed that G1 and G5 had separation values significantly lower than the value achieved for G2 and G3. lt is concluded that the added means of retention significantly increased RBFPD resistance to dislodgement. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Omar M. ECMowafy for many hours spent in supervision of this work and review of this manuscript. His patience, guidance and support through the entirety of this project was greatly appreciated. Dr. Dorothy McCornb and Dr. George A. Zarb. members of my thesis cornmittee, are also thanked for taking the tirne to evaluate, criticise and make suggestions. which were incorporateci in this thesis. I am grateful to Mr. Chtistopher A. Pereira for his technical assistance in the execution of both fatigue and tensile tests. Mechanical testing was conducted at the Centre of Biomaterials-University of Toronto and at the Department of Biomaterials- Faculty of Dentistry. 1 would like to thank the individuals in charge of these departrnents for allowing me to use the testing equipment. This study was supported by a Faculty of Dentistry research grant, a grant from Synca - Canada and a grant from CAPES (Brazilian Ministry of Education Agency). Finally, I dedicate this thesis to my husband Jose and rny daughter Leticia for al1 their love, encouragement and support during the length of this course.
