Denture Base Resin, Processing, Lab Remount Flashcards
resin
a broad term used to describe natural or synthetic substances that form plastic materials after polymerization
acrylic
designating a colorless, pungent acid
denture base polymers (6)
vulcanite polystyrene vinyls nylons PMMA urethane dumethacrylate (light activated)
PMMA resin (8)
excellent esthetic properties adequate strength low water sorption low solubility non-toxic, low allergenicity easily repaired reproduces detail accurately simple molding and processing technique
other resins may outscore PMM in some one property, but
no existing resin scores so high in the aggregate
PMMA resin ingredients (5)
liquid monomer: methyl methacrylate powdered polymer: polymathy methacrylate plasticizer: dibutyl phthalate initiator: benzoyl peroxide pigments
PMMA resin as a two component system
liquid monomer
powdered polymer
PMMA liquid (3)
methyl methacrylate
glycol dimethacrylate- a cross linking agent
hydroquinone- inhibitor for increased shelf life
PMMA powder (4)
PMMA beads
pigments
plasticizer (dibutyl phlkalate)
benzoyl peroxide- initiator of polymerization
types of cure (3)
heat
chemical light
heat activated denture base (3)
used in fabrication of all denture base
thermal energy required for polymerization- water bath or microwave oven
heat activated denture base components (4)
powder- prepolymerized spheres of PMMA and small amount of benzoyl peroxide (initiator)
liquid- predominantly non polymerized methyl methacrylate with small amount of hydroquinone (inhibitor)
cross linking agent is added to liquid
Compression Molding
A technique to process denture
resins
injection molding technique
porosity (3)
internal porosity- but none on surface- likely cause is temperature rise avocet 100C inside flask
monomer builds at 100.8C
spherical bubbles inside resin
