| Abstract |
|
This paper describes the use of cold-curing dental acrylic for the repair of shell fractures in a number of species of turtles as an alternative to fibreglass and epoxy resins. Cold-curing dental acrylic minimises the amount of secondary injury induced by the exothermic reactions caused by epoxy resins. Early investigation has shown a good response to this new technique, in medium term response, at least. No complications have been observed with this technique so far, but investigation is needed to evaluate its long term effects.
