Comparing two denture processing methods, this study found no significant difference in the accuracy of the resulting denture bases. Both SR-Ivocap injection and Lucitone compression molding techniques yielded comparable results for complete maxillary dentures.

Area of Science:

Dental Materials Science
Prosthodontics
Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

Accurate fabrication of complete dentures is crucial for patient comfort and function.
Different denture processing techniques, such as injection molding and compression molding, may influence the dimensional accuracy of the final prosthesis.
Understanding the impact of processing methods on denture base accuracy is essential for optimizing clinical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the accuracy of maxillary complete denture bases processed using the SR-Ivocap injection technique versus the Lucitone heat-polymerized compression molding technique.
To evaluate potential changes in denture base accuracy after the polishing procedure for both techniques.

Main Methods:

Maxillary complete denture bases were fabricated using two distinct processing techniques: SR-Ivocap injection and Lucitone compression molding.

A metal master impression served as the reference standard for accuracy assessment.

A dental comparator was utilized to measure and compare dimensional accuracy at selected points on the palatal surfaces before and after polishing.

Main Results:

No statistically significant differences were observed in the accuracy of denture bases processed by the SR-Ivocap injection technique compared to the Lucitone compression molding technique.
The polishing procedure did not introduce statistically significant changes in the dimensional accuracy of the denture bases for either processing method.

Conclusions:

Both the SR-Ivocap injection technique and the Lucitone heat-polymerized compression molding technique produce comparable accuracy in complete maxillary denture bases.
The polishing process does not significantly affect the dimensional accuracy of denture bases fabricated with these two methods.
Clinicians can select either processing technique with confidence regarding the dimensional accuracy of the resulting denture bases.
