[A comparative study of mechanical properties of microwave-cured and conventional water bath-cured denture base resins].
OBJECTIVE
To study the mechanical properties of microwave-cured polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base resins.


METHODS
Using experiment research, the mechanical properties of microwave-cured and water bath-cured PMMA materials were compared.


RESULTS
The microwave-cured acrylic strips had equal or better mechanical properties than conventionally processed strips.


CONCLUSIONS
The microwave-cured denture materials satisfies the requirements of the prosthetic clinic.
