CURING CYLES EMPLOYED
A Recommended curing cycles overnight water-bath cures: 1) 7hr at 70 C 2) 14hr at 70 C 3) 7hr at 70 C +1hr at 100C 4) 14hr at 70C + 1hr at 100CDry heat cure: 5)temp in excess of 100C using dry heat system
(II)PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Should possess adequate strength and resiliency and
resistance to biting and chewing forces impact forces and excessive wear in oral cavity.
Should be dimensionally stable under all conditions of service including thermal changes and variations in loading.
I) Specific gravity: It should have low value of specific gravity in order that dentures should be as light as possible.
II) Thermal conductivity: It is defined as the number of calories per second flowing through an area of 1cm2 in which the temperature drop along the length of the specimen is 1°C/cm.
It should have high value of thermal conductivity
Radiopacity: It is the inhibition of passage of radiant energy. It should be ideally radiopaque
Glass transition temperature: It is the temperature at which molecular motions become
such that whole chains are able to move. It is close to softening temperature. At this temperature sudden change in elastic modulus occurs.
Amorphous polymer below Tg behave as rigid solids while above Tg they behave as viscous liquids, flexible solids or rubbers.
Increased chain branching Decreased Tg.Increased number of cross links Increased Tg
Effect of molecular weight on propertiesIn many polymers the chains are held together by secondary,
or Vander Waals forces and molecular entanglement. Materials of high molecular weight have a greater degree of molecular entanglement, and have greater rigidity and strength and higher values of Tg and melting temperature than low molecular weight polymers.
Effect of plasticizers Plasticizers penetrate between the randomly oriented
chains of polymer as a result of which molecules are further apart and forces between them are less. They soften the material and make it more flexible by lowering its Tg. They lubricate the movements of polymer chains and are sometimes added to help molding characteristics. This
principle is used in producing acrylic soft lining materials. Effect of fillers Modulus of elasticity and strength are generally increased. A degree of anisotropy exist, that is the strength depends
on the orientation of fibres in the polymers.
Viscoelasticity : Polymers show viscoelastic behavior. Elastic behavior is caused by uncoiling of polymer molecules. Plastic behavior is caused by breaking of intermolecular Vander Waals forces
(III) MANIPULATION Should not produce toxic fumes or dust Easy to mix, insert, shape and cure and short setting time Oxygen inhibition, saliva and blood contamination should have
little or no effect. Final product should be easy to polish and easy to repair in case of
breakage.
(IV)AESTHETIC PROPERTIES Should be translucent to match oral tissues Capable of pigmentation No change in color after fabrication.
(v)ECONOMIC CONSIDERATION Cost should be low Processing should not require complex and expensive instruments.
(VI) CHEMICAL STABILITY Conditions in mouth are demanding and only the most chemically
stable and inert materials can withstand such conditions without deterioration.
“No resin has yet met all of these ideal criteria”. Methacrylate polymers fulfill the aforementioned requirement reasonably well.
2)AUTOPOLYMERIZING/COLD CURE POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE (POUR RESIN)
Composition same as the heat cure version with following differences
1)The powder contains beads of polymer that have a lower molecular wt. and benzoyl proxide (initiator)
2) The liquid contains a chemical activator ,tertiary amine such as dimethyl-para-toluidine.
Upon mixing tertiary amine causes decomposition of benzoyl peroxide.
Dentures processed have more residual monomer (1-4%),but lower dimensional change.
Decreased transverse strength (residual monomer act as plastisizer).
Compromised biocompatibility (residual monomer)
Color stability inferior (teriaty amine susceptible to oxidation), stabilizing agents should be added
Fluid resin and compression molding technique can be employed for the fabrication of denture.
Also used as repair material
3)HIGH IMPACT RESISTANT ACRYLIC Similar to heat cured material but less likely to be broken if
dropped. Produced by substituting the PMMA in the powder with a
copolymer. Copolymer of butadiene with styrene or methyl methacrylate are
incorporated into the beads. Phase inversion resulting in dispersion throughout the beads of
tiny islands of rubber containing small inclusions of rubber/PMMA graft polymer.

4) Injection molded polymers
These are made of Nylon or Polycarbonate.
The material is supplied as a gel in the form of a putty .
It has to be heated and injected into a mold
Equipment is expensive.
Craze resistance is low .
The SR-Ivocap system uses specialized flasks and clamping presses to keep the molds under a constant pressure of 3000 lbs
5) RAPID HEAT POLYMERIZED POLYMER
Same as conventional material except that they contain altered initiation system.
These initiator allow them to be processed in boiling water for 20 min.
A problem with these is that areas of the base thicker than approx.6mm have a high level of porosity.
Short duration of heating also leaves a higher level of residual monomer,3-7 times greater than conventional heat cured denture base.
6) MICROWAVE POLYMERIZED POLYMERS Resins are the same as used with conventional material and are
processed in a microwave. Denture base cures well in Special polycarbonate flask (instead of
metal). The properties and the accuracy of these materials have been
shown to be as good or better than those of the conventional heat cured material.
Processing time is much shorter (4-5 min).
Microwave resin and non metallic microwave flask
7)Light activated denture base resins This material is a composite having a matrix of urethane
dimethacrylate, microfine silica and high molecular wt acrylic resin monomers
Acrylic resin beads are included as organic fillers. Visible light is the activator, whereas camphorquinone serves as
the initiator for polymerization. Can be used as repair material and as custom tray material. Single component denture base is supplied as sheet and rope
form in light proof pouches.

8) FIBER –REINFORCED POLYMER
Glass, carbon/graphite, aramid and ultrahigh molecular wt polyethylene have been used as fiber reinforcing agents.
Metal wires like graphite has minimal esthetic qualities.
Fibers are stronger than matrix polymer thus their inclusion strengthens the composite structure.
The reinforcing agent can be in the form of unidirectional, straight fiber or multidirectional weaves.
Polymer – monomer interaction When mixed in proper proportions, the resultant
mass passes through five distinct stages 1.Sandy 2. stringy 3. Dough like 4. rubbery 5. Stiff
1.Sandy
During sandy stage, little or no interaction occurs on a molecular level. Polymer beads remain unaltered.
This stage is ideal for compression molding. Hence material is inserted into mold cavity during
dough like stage.
2. Stringy stage Later, mixture enters stringy stage.
Monomer attacks the surfaces of individual polymer beads.
Stage charcterized by stringiness,…3. dough like stage
The mass enters a dough like stage. On molecular level increased number
of polymer chains are formed. Clinically the mass becomes as a pliable dough. It is no longer tacky ( sticky)
4.Rubbery or elastic stage Following dough like stage, the mixture
enters rubbery or elastic stage. Monomer is dissipated by evaporation and by further penetration into remaining polymer beads. In clinical use the mass rebounds when compressed or stretched
5. Stiff Stage Upon standing for an extended period,
the mixture becomes stiff. This may be due to the evaporation of
free monomer. From clinical point, the mixture appears very dry and resistant to mechanical deformation

flask Stone is removed in incisal & occlusal
surfaces Stone is allowed to set
After the stone is set separating medium is coated
Occlusal & incisal surfaces shouldn’t be coated with the separating medium
Clear slurry is poured till the stone is mixed
Slurry is poured off, flask is filled with the stone
The denture is taken out from the flask. It is then trimed Finally wet polishing is done.
Finishing and polishing
Presence of voids within structure of resin Porosity can be of two types
◦ Internal◦ External
Internal porosity is due to voids within the structure usually at thicker portion
Cause – due to vaporization of the monomer (100.8C)
Solution- long low temperature curing cycle is recommended.
porosity
External porosity is due porosities which occur near the surface of denture.
Cause ◦ Lack of homogeneity of dough.◦ Lack of adequate pressure.
Prevention – use proper monomer – powder ratio, packing in dough stage.
Crazing is formation of surface cracks on denture base resin.
Causes –◦ Incorportion of stress◦ Attack by solvent (alcohol)◦ Incorporation of water during processing.
Prevention◦ Avoidance of solvent◦ Proper use of separating media◦ Metal moulds◦ Use of cross linked acrylic
Crazing
Denture warpage is change in shape or fit of denture.
Cause is incorporation of stress in deture◦ Packing in late dough or rubbery stage.◦ Stress induced during curing◦ Improper deflasking◦ Rise in temp while polishing◦ Immersion of processed denture in hot water.
Denture warpage
Improper deflasking Denture base excessively thin Accidental dropping at time of polishing
Denture fracture
Care to taken at time of dewaxing procedure
Rearticulation to be done after processing the denture to check of occllusal discrepancy.
Change in tooth position
The cured polymer should be stiff enough to hold the teeth in occlusion during mastication and to minimize uneven loading of the mucosa, underlying the denture should not creep under masticatory loads should not deteriorate in the aqueous oral environment and crazes should not form The cured polymer should be biologically inert and slow to foul
For an allergic patient, low free-monomer content may be thought more important than stiffness.
For a patient requiring a soft lining, stiffness is very important if the reduced cross sectional area of the denture, may lead to stability or loading problems.
HEAT CURE Curing the dough before the monomer has
diffused to the core of the beads may result in reduced flexural strength and a tendency for cracks to propagate.
The curing cycle is designed to raise the temperature to a point at which
(1) sufficient benzoylperoxy radicals are produced to overcome the scavenging effect of oxygen,
(2) polymer chains form by free-radical addition polymerization.
Too rapid a rise in temperature produces large numbers of
radicals or radical avalanche, as a result, many growing polymer chains. These chains collide either with other radicals or with polymer chains, producing an increase in branching and cross-linking of the interstitial polymer. This in turn reduces toughness.
Slow cures result in much tougher denture bases, producing fewer cross-links and branches, and having a higher overall molecular weight between cross-links because
Free-monomer content is often lower also, because the steadier rise in internal viscosity
of the curing polymer allows the monomer easier access to the growing free radicals. The cross-linker is more completely polymerized in heat-cured systems; this results in significantly lower creep values due to removal of the plasticizing effect of unreacted pendant crosslinker groups.
Heat-cured systems have one great advantage over autopolymerized and injection molding methods: an increased rate of monomer diffusion at the higher temperature.
Conversely, an increased temperature of cure can also result in the annealing of stresses that build up in the structure due to polymerization shrinkage. If this stress is not released, it can act as the foci for crazes or distortions
Autopolymerizing acrylic
The pour technique for dentures, originally developed during the 1960s, reversible hydrocolloid. The fitting surface of the mold
consists of the plaster model itself; the acrylic teeth occupy their positions in the agar mold in the same way they do in a conventional plaster mold. In general, the creep of these products is greater than that of heat-cured acrylics.
Acrylic soft liners
acrylics that have a natural glass-transition temperature at least 25°C less than that of the mouth. The plasticizer used to soften the acrylic can either be unbound to the acrylic and hence free to diffuse out during use, resulting in a loss of resilience,
Silicone soft liners
The silicones used as soft liners can be divided into two types:
room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) and heat curing. The RTV silicones' greatest drawback is
their lack of adhesion, which is especially a problem around the edges of the attachment between acrylic and silicone
Temporary Soft Liners and Functional Impression Materials
it is their viscoelastic properties that are important,
specifically their ability to flow under masticatory and linguistic forces, spreading the load on the mucosa evenly.
