🔍 Understanding Denture Base Materials | Acrylic Resin (PMMA) Explained
In this engaging and informative lecture, we delve into the fundamental concepts of denture base materials—from historical materials like vulcanite to the modern polymers commonly used in dentistry today.
We begin by discussing the ideal requirements of polymers suitable for denture base fabrication, followed by an in-depth focus on the most widely used material in dental prosthetics: acrylic resin, also known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Key topics covered in this lecture:
Introduction to denture base materials
Historical materials: Vulcanite and early alternatives
Modern denture base materials
Ideal properties of denture base polymers
PMMA: Chemical composition, mixing, and curing process
Whether you’re a dental student or a professional looking to revise essential prosthodontic materials, this lecture provides a clear and detailed understanding of the topic.
