Strength and Surface Roughness of Cross Linking Acrylic Resin Processed by Different Heat Curing Methods
Abstract
Background: Heat-cured acrylic resin is considered one of the most commonly used denture base material in denture construction,
but this material is not ideal in every respect. So many researches have been carried out to find an alternative material like cross
linking acrylic resin. Meanwhile, the curing procedures have been modified to improve the physical and mechanical properties of
resin materials .The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three curing methods:(water bath, autoclave short cycle and
autoclave long cycle) on transverse strength, tensile strength and surface roughness of cross linking acrylic denture base materials.
Material and method: Cross linking acrylic resin was used in this study and processed in three curing methods (water bath, autoclave
short cycle and autoclave long cycle). Ninety specimens were prepared. Each main group was subdivided into three subgroups
according to the type of test used (transvers strength test, tensile strength test and surface roughness test). Each group
contained 10 specimens for each test.
Result: Three tests were used to analyze the results: analysis of variance (ANOVA), the least significant difference (LSD) and an
independent T-test. There were no significant differences between the results of the processing techniques regarding transverse
and tensile strength but there was a significant difference between the results of surface roughness tests.
Conclusion: It was concluded that autoclave curing method can be used with different duration whether it is short or long instead
of water bath curing method.
