Dimensional and occlusal changes in fluid resin dentures.

This study evaluated complete dentures processed with fluid acrylic resins. The dentures were constructed with the aid of a new flask and modified spruing procedures, with the teeth immobilized in the hydrocolloid mold, and with slight mechanical vibration provided during the pouring of the resin. The fluid resin dentures were compared with the dentures constructed by the compression-molding technique and processed with heat-curing acrylic resin. The results indicate that the fluid resin dentures underwent more processing shrinkage (0.617%) than the conventionally processed dentures (0.377%). However, the fluid resin dentures seemed to function as well as the heat-cured dentures. The excessive reduction in the vertical dimension of the occlusion usually observed with fluid resin dentures was minimized; the average cusp height reduction was -0.089 mm. Individual tooth movement, voids, visible porosity, and other surface deficiencies were eliminated.
