title: The influence of teeth on denture base processing accuracy.
abstract: The Michigan Computer Graphics Coordinate Measuring System was used to determine the influence of denture teeth on the accuracy of processed denture bases. Three different processing methods--compression molding, injection pressing, and vacuum-assisted resin pouring--were used. The presence of denture teeth was determined to affect the accuracy of the processed denture bases of all three techniques. For denture bases without teeth, the compression-molding technique demonstrated significant differences in accuracy; however, no significant differences were found in the injection-pressed or resin-poured denture bases.
