Evaluation of the Transverse Strength and UV Spectrophotometric Analysis of the Residual Monomer Content of Autoclave Polymerized Conventional and High-Impact Heat-Cure Denture Base Resins-An Study.

Background And Objective: Inspite of advancements in material properties of heat cure acrylic resin, fracture of denture base and allergic reactions due to release of residual monomer is encountered frequently. To improve strength and to reduce residual monomer, different polymerization methods need to be investigated. The objective is to evaluate and compare transverse strength and residual monomer content of two different heat cured denture base resins polymerized by conventional water bath and by autoclave.
