Significance: The highest temperature reached by heating of resin during processing is well below the elevated boiling point of monomer. Monomer therefore does not boil in clamped denture flasks under sufficient pressure. Thus adequate clamp pressure prevents gaseous porosity irrespective of curing cycle used.

Why is it important to Polymerise heat cured acrylics under pressure?

What is heat cured acrylic resin?
Heat cure acrylic resins are the most commonly used denture base materials. The important limitation is they may act as reservoir of microorganisms. The adherence of microorganisms can be reduced by chemical modification of the surface charge of denture base resin.
What are the differences between heat cured acrylic resin and self cured acrylic resin?
The principal difference between self-cure and heat-cure resins is that more residual monomer is present in the self-cure resins. In addition, with a high monomer to polymer ratio, residual monomer content in the polymerized acrylic resin would be large.
What is the curing cycle for heat cured acrylic resin denture base material?
Seven packed conventional heat cured denture bases were cured in water bath at 74oC for 8 hours (long curing cycle). Seven packed conventional heat cured denture bases were cured in water bath at 74oC for 1.5 hours and then for 100oC for 1 hour (short curing cycle).
What is self cure resin?
any resin that can be polymerized by chemical catalysis rather than by the application of heat or light; used in dentistry for dental restoration, denture repair, and impression trays.
What is the boiling point of resin?
The boiling point of resin acids and rosin acids, hydrogenated, Me esters is 386 ± 5°C.
How long does cold take to cure acrylic?
From the result in this present study it can be concluded that the best curing time for cold cure acrylic specimens was in Ivomat for 45 minutes that showed significant improvement in impact strength.
What is self cure acrylic resin?
Self-curing acrylic resins have been used mainly in prosthetic dentistry for the construction of custom-built impression trays, occlusion registration bases and for repairing fractured dentures.
What is the final set time of the self cured resin?
The final curing time is 5 minutes after placement of prosthetic restoration for self-curing.
Why did my resin cure so fast?
The chemical reaction between resin and hardener as epoxy cures will generate heat. When this heat cannot escape, it builds up, causing the epoxy to cure faster because epoxy cures faster at higher temperatures. Curing faster because of the heat, the epoxy generates even more heat, even faster.
