Flexural strength and degree of polymerization of a proprietary denture base acrylic resin designed to be cured using long or short cycles.

The flexural strength and degree of polymerization of Diamond D acrylic resin prepared with a long cure monomer and a short cure monomer were investigated using Trevalon as a control. Flexural strength and degree of polymerization of Diamond D acrylic resin were not affected by either using a long cure monomer or the short cure monomer. There was no significant difference in the glass transition temperature Tg between the long and slow cure Diamond D.
