DENTURE MECHANICAL TESTING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61C19/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to dental material science, and enables determining a bond strength of a dental material used for denture attachment to hard tissues of a tooth. A denture mechanical testing device consists of a carrier plate, on which a stepper motor and a denture fixation appliance are mounted. The stepper motor interacts with the denture fixation appliance through a string connected to the stepper motor, a spring and a weight module, a body of which comprises a liquid crystalline indicator for measured force control, and to a hook end. The load applied to the denture is measured by means of the weight module; what is also provided is a clock detector used to measure a denture deformity determined by pointer deflection on a device clock-face. The device switch on and off are controlled by means of PC and specially configured software.

EFFECT: invention enables providing the monitoring and recording of the accessible strength characteristics both of the dentures themselves, and of the dentures attached to hard tissues of the tooth, applying the preset static and dynamic load to the denture.
