Abstract

The presence of Residual monomer content in processed dentures is not desirable. Different methods are used for reducing the residual monomer content after processing. In the present study the effects of two post cure treatments (water immersion and additional curing cycle) on the residual monomer content of two commonly used denture base resins (Acralyn H and Trevalon Hi) were evaluated by using gas chromatography. Study concluded that both water immersion for one day at room temperature and additional curing cycle reduced the residual monomer content in both brands which was initially high after processing.
