Abstract
Duplicate dentures were made from heat-cured (HC) and microwave-cured (MC) bases, and with these bases reinforced with glass cloth. The clearance as a dimensional change in the resins was measured in relation to duplicate gypsum models from a master denture model. The clearance value in resins stored in distilled water at 37°C demonstrated better dimensional accuracy as compared with base resin replicas stored in air at 37°C. When measured at 1 kg load, MC and HC base resins showed a decrease in the clearance value. MC and HC resins reinforced with glass cloth had no significant difference between the values of dimensional accuracy at each site. The MC base and reinforced resins could be useful, comparable with HC acrylic base resin, for dental applications.
