title: Effect on the fit of removable partial denture frameworks when master casts are treated with cyanoacrylate resin.
abstract: Master casts of improved dental stone were made from irreversible hydrocolloid impressions of a metal model. Half of the master casts were treated with cyanoacrylate resin and half were untreated controls. They were sent to a dental laboratory for framework fabrication. The returned frameworks were examined for acceptability and their completeness of seating was determined. The frameworks fabricated on the treated master casts fit significantly better than the controls. The improved seating may be attributed to an increased surface hardness, increased abrasion resistance, and improved surface morphology, but further study is necessary.
