Processing changes in maxillary complete dentures.
A technique that allows for comparison of undercuts palatal thickness, and double curing has been described for measurement of curing changes in acrylic resin dentures. The technique involves a precision cast and denture positioner in front of the x-ray tube and the transfer of a lead foil strip from cast to denture. Radiographs made of this strip are projected at X20 magnification, and subsequent tracings are measured and superimposed to note shrinkage and contour changes.
