GENNARI FILHO, H. et al. Evaluation of the effect of full denture pressing on the artificial teeth mobility, in function of two type of flasking. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.5, pp.323-332. ISSN 2340-3152.

The present study evaluated artificial teeth movement in complete dentures, submitted to different flasking loading and the effect of these loading pressures on the material used in the flasking procedure. Thirty-six dentures were fabricated and equally divided into six groups: Groups G1, G2 and G3 were processed with type III gypsum and 800, 1000 and 1250 kgf loading pressures, respectively, and groups S1, S2 and S3 were processed with silicone barrier and 800, 1000 and 1250 kgf loading pressures, respectively. In order to evaluate the artificial teeth movement, measurements were performed from previously determined points down in the second molars tips and in the second pre-molars cusps and in the central incisor. Those points were scanned (Scan Jet 6100C - Hewlett Packard) and then the measurements were performed and analyzed through the use of the AutoCad 2000 software, during the wax and the post-polymerization phases. The comparison between these two phases allowed the following observations: in groups (G1 and S1) where less loading pressure was used (800 kgf), the movements in the artificial teeth positions were the highest, and the group that presented the lowest changes was the one processed with type III gypsum and 1250 kgf loading pressure.
