2. Initiation: when an initiator such as benzoyl peroxide is
decomposed and free radicals are produced.
3. Propagation: occurs when free radicals break the bond
between carbon atoms in monomer and adjacent
monomers bond together
4. Oermination: occurs when monomer units are used up, or
free radical is tied up by a reaction

III. Pour and cure resin: not used much.
Mixed and poured into a mould of
hydrocolloid. Excellent reproduction of
details but inferior to cold and heat cure
resin in other aspects
IV. Light cure resin (blue light): used as
denture hard relining material, repair
material, construction of trays.

2. Gaseous porosity:
|. Caused by a rise in the resin temperature
during curing above | °C (> boiling
temperature of resin)
2. Gaseous monomer forms and causes gaseous
porosity
3. Ohis is avoided by allowing a slow and
controlled rise in temperature

A Processing strains:
A Internal strains occur during processing of resin
A If allowed to relax, warpage, distortion and
crazing (tiny surface defects) occur
A Some are relieved as the material flows but
thermal contraction strains may remain. Ohis
can be minimized by:
A Slowly cooling flask
A üsing acrylic rather than porcelain teeth to ensure
compatible shrinking
RR
Biocompatibility:
ºigh, however, allergy may occur due to
leachable components mainly the monomer and
benzoic acid.
¦llergy is mainly associated with cold cure resin
due to high residual monomer
¦s a replacement, denture bases maybe
constructed from polycarbonate

Mechanical properties:
Creep is a problem, minimized by crosslinking agents
Dentures are prone to fracture
Commonly, midline of upper denture
Mainly caused by:
Orauma, leading to cracks then failure
Poor quality processing: lack of bonding between resin and
teeth
Oensile strength 5 MPa
Crazes
Elastic modulus Low
Îlexural modulus 22 -25 MPa
R
Solution to patients who commonly fracture
dentures:
ºigh impact resistant resin (contain rubber toughening
agent), decrease crack, but may lower flexural modulus
and lead to fatigue due to excessive flexure
Incorporation of fibers to produce fiber reinforced resin:
Carbon fibers: difficult to handle, poor esthetics
¦ramid fibers: lack of bonding with rein
ültra high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, üºMPE: low
density, neutral color, biocompatible, bonds to resin but
processing is time consuming
Glass fibers: most promising, incorporated as short fibers or
loose form

Cold cure resin, chairside. Disadvantages:
Poor taste
Poor color stability
Exothermic reaction

Desirable qualities in materials used:
Rubbery
Resilient
Low elastic modulus
Some materials (polymers) are naturally
rubbery. Others can be modified by adding
plasticisers
Plasticisers: act as lubricants for polymer
chains and make it easier for them to slide
over one another, so material can deform
easily

Disadvantages:

Construction considerations
¦dvantages compared to Constructed in layers to
ceramic teeth: simulate natural color
Oough Gingival portion is
Bond to denture base material made from minimally
Easy to grind during occlusal cross-linked resin to
adjustment ensure good bonding
Do not wear natural, artificial with denture base
opposing teeth
Easily repolished
Disadvantages:
Soft and easily wear
Stain over time
