Abstract:
The disadvantages of the use of vulcanite as a denture base material prompted the development of a wide range of thermoplastic polymers as alternatives to vulcanite. Heat-cured acrylic resin materials are the most widely used polymeric denture base materials at present, but research into further improvements in denture base materials continues.
