title: Monitoring the polymerization process of acrylic resins.
abstract: Four groups of autopolymerizing acrylic resins used for various purposes in current dental practice were investigated by monitoring their temperature changes during the polymerization process. Resins were compared in terms of characteristic parameters (such as the time interval needed to reach mechanical stability and the maximum temperature generated during the polymerization process) and interpretations were made of such temporal temperature profiles.
