Abstract

Objectives. Residual methyl methacrylate (MMA) content in unreinforced and in glass fibre reinforced, heat-polymerized (long- and short-term terminal boiled and conventionally) autopolymerized (at room temperature and in water at 60 degreesC) and microwave-polymerized (3 min at 500 W) denture base polymers after processing were compared.
