title: Dimensional changes of processed denture bases after relining with three resins.
abstract: This study compared the dimensional change of simulated processed denture bases after relining with three resins. Thirty simulated denture bases 1.5 to 2 mm thick were processed from Lucitone 199 resin following the manufacturer's instructions using the long-cure method. Ten bases were relined with Lucitone 199 (long-cure), 10 were relined with Triad resin, and 10 were relined with Accelar 20 resin. The relined bases were processed on a metal die using a reline jig, and three measurements (from distobuccal flange to distobuccal flange) were made with a traveling microscope immediately before and after relining. Each relined simulated denture base showed a significant dimensional shrinkage after processing. The mean dimensional change values of the Triad resin relined bases were significantly greater than those of the other two resin relined bases. All of the dimensional change values, however, would probably be insignificant in a clinical situation.
