Council adopts changes in American Dental Association specifications no. 15 for acrylic resin teeth and no. 17 for denture base temporary relining resin
COUNCIL ON DENTAL RESEARCH
The Council, upon recommendation of the Specifications Committee of the Den tal Materials Group, International Asso ciation for Dental Research, adopted the following changes in the testing proce dures for determining the Knoop hard ness of acrylic resin teeth and denture base temporary relining resin. 1. American Dental Association Specification No. 15. Section 4.3.5— The following was substituted for the first sentence: “The hardness shall be determined on the occlusal (incisal) portion of the teeth by the Knoop indentation method using a rate of descent of not less than 1 mm./min. nor more than 18 mm./min. and a 20-second con tact with a 100-Gm. load.”
2. American Dental Association Specification No. 17. Section 4.3.3— The sentence, “Knoop numbers shall be determined . . . contact.” , was de leted and the following substituted: “Knoop numbers shall be deter mined 21 to 27 hours after mixing using a 100-Gm. load, a rate of descent of not less than 1 mm./min. nor more than 18 mm./min. and a 20-second contact.” These changes are effective immedi ately and were adopted since a time of descent of load, as currently specified in the test procedure, is not sufficiently spe cific to obtain consistent microhardness values.
