Resins based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)

10、 have been used in the construction of both active and passive removable orthodontic appliances for many years. Initially, denture base resins were used for orthodontic appliances, although modified resins, more suited to orthodontic applications, have become available as a result of the continuing

11、development of denture base resins. In addition, techniques of processing have been adopted that are better suited to the orthodontic technician, one of the most important of which is a method of polymerizing the monomer directly on a cast, frequently described as the pepper and salt technique. This

12、 involves wetting the cast and spraying on polymer powder, wetting with monomer and then adding more polymer. An incremental system of polymer build-up has therefore evolved which, with technical skill, may be accomplished rapidly and satisfactorily. This method of preparing the resin part of the re

13、movable orthodontic appliance has several potential problems. The resin may be weaker than if conventional flasking and heat systems of polymerization were used, and there may be a greater risk that an appliance will have more residual than for denture base resin monomer. In addition, the high monom

14、er content of the polymer/monomer mix causes increased contraction of the resin on polymerization. This standard is more comprehensive with regard to performance requirements than BS 2487. In particular, this standard includes requirements and test methods for impact strength and residual monomer wh

15、ich are not included in BS2487and it is intended that these additional requirements will be included in the next revision of BS 2487. This British Standard has been prepared primarily on the basis of data produced by a research programme undertaken under the direction of Dr G D Stafford at Cardiff D

16、ental School. This research took into account replies to a questionnaire sent to the members of the Orthodontic Technicians Association and to Dental Schools, whose assistance in furnishing information on materials and techniques has been invaluable. Requirements for freedom from biological hazards

17、are not included in this British Standard but it is recommended that in assessing possible biological or toxicological hazards, reference be made to BS 5828. Attention is also drawn to HSE Guidance Note EH40and to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act, 1974. A British Standard does not purport to i

18、nclude all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pa

19、ges i and ii, pages1 to 10, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS6747:1987 BSI 10-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies p

20、erformance requirements and describes methods of test for the resins made of acrylic monomers and polymers and used in the construction of removable orthodontic appliances. Such resins, prepared from a powder (polymer) and a liquid (monomer), are polymerized in an open mould by means of a chemically

21、-activated system accompanied by a combination of heat and pressure. This standard does not specify requirements for dough-moulded orthodontic resins, which are specified in BS 2487. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions Fo

22、r the purposes of this British Standard the definitions given in BS 4492 apply, together with the following. 2.1 test specimen plates raw, unfinished plates as cast or moulded, without any finishing 2.2 test specimens test specimen plates after finishing, i.e. in a suitable form for testing 2.3 test

23、 specimen strips test specimens which have been sawn into strips 3 Materials NOTEFor assessment of freedom from biological hazards of dental materials reference should be made to BS 5828. 3.1 Liquid 3.1.1 General. The liquid shall consist of polymerizable acrylic material and other ingredients appro

24、priate to the polymerization system. It shall be free from deposits or sediment when examined visually. 3.1.2 Thermal stability. The liquid shall show no turbidity, deposits or sediment when tested in accordance with Appendix A. 3.2 Powder The powder shall consist of acrylic polymers and other ingre

25、dients appropriate to the polymerization system. It shall be free from extraneous material when examined visually. 3.3 Polymerized resin 3.3.1 Surface properties. When processed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and prepared in accordance with B.1.1 to B.1.4, test specimens shall hav

26、e a surface which, when polished by a conventional dental method, shall be capable of producing a high gloss. 3.3.2 Colour. The colour of the processed resin, when assessed visually using the test specimen prepared in accordance with B.1.1 to B.1.4, shall be as stated by the manufacturer see 8.1 c).

27、 3.3.3 Residual methyl methacrylate monomer. The resin, when tested in accordance with Appendix C, shall contain not more than3.5% by mass of methyl methacrylate monomer. 3.3.4 Freedom from porosity. When processed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and prepared in accordance with B.1

28、.1 to B.1.4, test specimens shall not show evidence of surface or internal porosity when viewed without magnification. 3.3.5 Water sorption. When tested in accordance with Appendix D, the increase in mass of the test specimen shall not exceed3%. NOTEThe maximum water sorption is achieved after appro

29、ximately4weeks; however,85% to90% of the maximum uptake is achieved after1week and this test therefore reflects a balance between practical and theoretical considerations. The rate of water uptake or loss may be an important parameter and guidance on the determination of the diffusion coefficient ha

30、s therefore been given in Appendix E for information. 3.3.6 Transverse deflection. The transverse deflection, when tested in accordance with Appendix B, shall be not greater than5.0mm over the force range15N to30N. 3.3.7 Impact strength. The impact strength, when tested in accordance with Appendix F

31、, shall be not less than800J/m 2 . 3.3.8 Hardness. The mean indentation value, when tested in accordance with Appendix G, shall not exceed160units (40 4m). 3.3.9 Creep. The creep value, when measured in accordance with Appendix G, shall not exceed20% of the original depth of penetration at5s.BS6747:
