Custom tinting denture bases by visible light cure lamination.
A urethane dimethacrylate and tinting powder lamination, chemically bonded to a methyl methacrylate denture base, produces a natural-appearing distribution of the tints. The characterization is protected by a hard, clear layer of urethane. Procedures are described that achieve this lamination either in the laboratory, before processing the dentures, or after the dentures have been fabricated.
