        DENTURE REPAIRS: Denture Wearer
		
		
		
            
            Problems with denture repairs, dentures break for a variety of reasons
			
			
                - The acrylic used to make dentures is brittle in nature and develops micro-cracks, just by chewing. (This is a good reason to make your next new denture a FiBER FORCE® denture.)
				- Sometimes you drop your denture and it simply breaks in two, or the acrylic on the perimeter of your denture breaks off.
			
				- Sometimes, due to several factors, the denture is subject to high forces while chewing and will break.
			
				- Unfortunately, repaired denture acrylic loses 40% of its original strength and resistance to future fracture. Most often, repaired dentures will just break again.
			
				- Note that the adaptation of the denture to your mouth deteriorates over time and dentures should be replaced every 5-7 years.
Why repair your denture with FiBER FORCE®
			
			
				- FiBER FORCE® is the ideal product to use for dentures that have broken. A study has shown that repaired denture acrylic that is reinforced with UD pre-impregnated e-glass fibers (the material used to make FiBER FORCE®) was 58% stronger than the original acrylic and 166% stronger than acyclic repaired in a traditional method.
				
				- If your denture has broken because it is not fitting well, the ideal solution is a new denture.
				
				- If your denture has broken because it is subject to high forces while chewing, a repair with FiBER FORCE® will help, but possibly the ideal solution is a new FiBER FORCE® denture.
