Evaluation of the level of residual monomer in acrylic denture base materials having different polymerization properties

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of residual monomer in acrylic denture base materials having different polymerization properties. The investigation included a conventional-type acrylic cured under heat and pressure, as well as a pour-type resin polymerized by an injection-moulding technique at room temperature and under pressure. It was found that the residual monomer content ranged from 0.22-0-54% in pour-type resin, and from 0.23-0-52% in routinely used resins when the specimens were analysed… Show more

“…This technique is a non-destructive method of analysis, which does not modify the specimen. In addition, all procedures are carried out in the liquid at room temperature, thus eliminating heat and yielding more accurate results (Kalipçilar et al, 1991).…”

“…Therefore, the reduction of residual monomer content could improve the properties and reduce the cytotoxicity effects of the polymerized acrylic resins, and some post-polymerization treatments have been suggested, such as microwave irradiation and immersion in hot water (Tsuchiya et al, 1994;Yunus et al, 1994;Blagojevic and Murphy, 1999;Machado et al, 2002). Different techniques have been used for the determination of residual monomer in acrylic resins, among them high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Shim and Watts, 1999;Lassila and Vallittu, 2001;Lee et al, 2002), which has been used to evaluate the level of residual monomer in conventional autopolymerizing and heat-polymerizing acrylic resins polymerized under a variety of methods (Kalipçilar et al, 1991;Lassila and Vallittu, 2001). However, there are no studies in which HPLC was used to determine the residual monomer content in hard chair-side reline resins.…”

“…Multifunctional monomers used for dental restorations typically exhibit final double bond conversion of 50 to 75% [7-9]. Furthermore, researchers have found at least 6% residual monomer in BisGMA/TEGDMA resin systems after curing [10], which can be heightened by cyclization [11] or lower conversion.…”

“…Water sorption and solubility are closely related to toxicity and dimensional instability, affecting the clinical behavior of acrylic resin (12). According to the results of this study, the solubility and sorption values obtained for all the specimens of groups of different resins, self-cured and heat-polymerized, was below the maximum allowed by the ISO1567 specification (11).…”
