Abstract
This in vitro study evaluated adaptation and stability of denture bases processed by means of induction -heating (Mak press), traditional pack - and - press (JIS), low - temperature - curing (LL), microwave-curing (MC), and rapid-curing (QA) techniques. Specimens were fabricated with the heat sources and cooled to room temperature. Adaptation of denture bases was determined immediately after deflasking. The specimens were continuously immersed in water and the change of adaptation was examined for up to 180 days. Adaptation of Mak press-processed specimens was comparable to that of LL- or MC-processed specimens. Most of the denture bases demonstrated improved fit with elapse of immersion time.
