The resin has fine esthetic properties, is excellent in color and is chemically stable. It can be used with a simple technique for the construction of dentures, but the properties of acrylic resin are not ideal in all aspects. Knowledge of chemistry, physical properties, qualities, characteristics, and manipulative procedure is therefore imperative if reasonably satisfactory results have to be obtained from the use of the material.Dimensional changes which occur in heat cure acrylic resins are shrinkage and expansion which affects the fit of the denture and occlusal relationship.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>] Precise duplication of trial denture into the final prosthesis is the desired aim during processing in the laboratory. However, certain properties like dimensional inaccuracies of the materials compromise the attainment of this goal optimally. Different authors compared various resins to denture rubber by examining certain physical and mechanical properties of different materials.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>]</p><p>Considering the importance of dimensional changes occurring during processing, the present study was undertaken to determine linear dimensional changes of four commercially available heat cure acrylic resins.</p><sec id="sec2-1"><title>Aim and Objectives</title><p>The present study was designed with the following aim and objectives:</p><p><list list-type="bullet"><list-item><p>To study the linear dimensional changes of four different brands of heat cure acrylic resins before and after curing.</p></list-item><list-item><p>To compare the linear dimensional changes of heat cure acrylic resin among the four different acrylic brands.</p></list-item></list></p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec1-2"><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>The study was carried on 24 edentulous subjects, irrespective of age and sex selected from the Department of Prosthodontics including Crown and Bridge, M.

For each subject four additional edentulous mandibular casts were duplicated to fabricate four experimental dentures one each from the four different acrylic resins used in the study. Therefore, the edentulous mandibular master cast was duplicated and four additional casts were made for each subject using reversible hydrocolloid agar material. The master cast which was used for the duplication was used to fabricate patient's denture which was delivered to the patient at the end of the treatment. Finally, four mandibular casts for each individual subject were obtained. Following the same procedure for remaining 23 subjects a total of 96 casts were obtained. On the casts so obtained 96 experimental mandibular dentures were fabricated. The teeth set chosen for the study had the same mold. After the teeth arrangement, three stainless steel pins were fixed in mandibular denture with the help of autopolymerizing resin. Out of three pins, two pins were fixed in central fossae of first molar on both sides and one pin in the cingulum of left central incisor so that three measurements between pins can be obtained. The dentures were fabricated using a standard amount of powder liquid ratio of 3:1 and curing the dentures under standardized conditions and opting for a standard routine for polishing [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>].</p><fig id="F2" position="float"><label>Figure 2</label><caption><p>24 Dentures of one group after fabrication</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="CCD-2-182-g003"></graphic></fig><p>The tip of the stainless steel pin was marked with blue color and the marks were transferred onto the paper and the measurements were taken with the help of digital vernier caliper [Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>] between two points, i.e. molar to molar and molar to central incisor.</p><fig id="F3" position="float"><label>Figure 3</label><caption><p>Digital vernier caliper</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="CCD-2-182-g004"></graphic></fig><fig id="F4" position="float"><label>Figure 4</label><caption><p>Measurement of marks after transferring to paper</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="CCD-2-182-g005"></graphic></fig><p>Measurements were made between molar pins and central incisor pin.</p><p>AB—Left central incisor to right molar.</p><p>BC—Right molar to left molar.</p><p>CA—Left molar to left central incisor.</p><p>The readings between these points were made three times for each of the dentures.

In spite of having all these advantages, the lack of dimensional stability is widely accepted as one of the disadvantages of acrylic resin dentures. In the processing of dentures, a portion of stress produced in the plastics as they cool below this temperature is relieved when the dentures are separated from the casts, and the amount of shrinkage which occurs is proportional to the range of cooling below the second-order transition temperature.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>] Komiyama and Kawara[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>] stated that the stress produced by thermal contraction is relieved shortly after the denture has been removed from the mold and that stress, caused by polymerization contraction, will be relieved more gradually. They concluded that the thermal contraction stress is of instantaneous mechanical nature, whereas the stress caused by polymerization is on a molecular level involving polymer chains. Zissis, Huggert, Harrison[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>] embedded steel pins in the wax trial bases and measured distance from the outside of one pin to the outside of the other, with the help of vernier caliper having accuracy 0.001 inch before and after curing.</p><p>Woelfel[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>] stated a method of linear measurements on each denture (molar-to-molar) was made at various times at 22 ±1 °C. (72± 2 °F) with a toolmaker's microscope and were recorded to the nearest 0.0025 mm. (0.0001 inch). The reference marks were fine cross lines ruled on polished stainless steel pins cemented in the second molars. Posterior linear measurements instead of contour measurements were made, as shown that linear changes occurring in across the posterior portion of a denture are of significantly greater magnitude than in any other area. Also the changes occurring in the posterior region are the most important in the retention of denture because of the anatomy of the mouth and the shape of the denture. He demonstrated a very small dimensional shrinkage (0.2% to 0.5 % molar-to molar or only 0.1 to 0.2 mm) with heat cured acrylic resin dentures as they were deflasked. Some of the internal stresses from processing are released when the denture is deflasked and polished as it becomes slightly narrower from molar-to molar and flange to flange. This linear shrinkage is invariably small, less than 0.5% (0.2 mm) slightly more on lower dentures than on uppers which are in accordance to the results of present study. It has been reported by Anusavice[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>] that when methyl methacrylate is polymerized the density changes from 0.945 to 1.19 g/cm<sup>3</sup>, which results in a volumetric shrinkage of 21% for pure monomer (polymerization shrinkage) during its polymerization. The mixture used for fabrication of dentures apparently contains 1/4 to 1/3 of monomer and as might be expected the volumetric shrinkage will usually range from slightly over 5% to about 7%. Based on a projected volumetric shrinkage of 7%, an acrylic resin denture base should exhibit a linear shrinkage of 2%.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>]</p><p>Anthony and Peyton[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>] inferred that shrinkage might be expected somewhat less in the lower dentures because of the short linear distances between the labial or buccal and the lingual borders. The present study shows the linear shrinkage from 0.25% to 1.42%, which is also in accordance with the study done by Anusavice,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>] Noort,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>] and Shippee.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">11</xref>] The resins were all found to shrink during the curing process.-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">12</xref>] However, on immersion in water, the resins were found to expand. He reported greater shrinkage during processing than during storage in water up to 90 days.</p><p>It is assumed that curing shrinkage is entirely thermal in nature and for a given resin composition, it will depend upon the temperature at which the resin becomes sufficiently rigid to contract thermally independent of the cast or model. The present study showed significant linear dimensional changes after curing and after finishing and polishing.</p></sec><sec id="sec1-5"><title>Summary and Conclusions</title><p>The study was carried out to study the linear dimensional changes of four different heat cure acrylic resins before and after curing, before curing and after finishing and polishing and after curing and after finishing and polishing and to compare the linear dimensional changes of heat cure acrylic resin among four different acrylic brands.</p><p>The conclusions drawn from the study are as below.</p><p><list list-type="bullet"><list-item><p>All the materials showed linear changes immediately after curing and after finishing and polishing.</p></list-item><list-item><p>Among four materials, i.e. meliodent, trevalon, triplex, and vertex maximum percentage changes after curing were seen in Group-A (Meliodent-1.18%) followed by Group-B (trevalon-0.71%), Group-C (triplex-0.51%) and Group-D (vertex-0.37%).</p></list-item><list-item><p>After finishing and polishing, maximum percentage changes were seen in Group-A (meliodent-1.41%), followed by Group-B (trevalon-1.18%), Group-C (triplex-0.80%), and Group-D (vertex-0.61%).</p></list-item><list-item><p>After curing and after finishing and polishing, maximum percentage changes were seen in Group-B (trevalon-0.46%) followed by Group-C (triplex-0.29%), Group-A (meliodent-0.28%), and Group-D (vertex-0.25%).</p></list-item><list-item><p>Among four materials compared, Group-D (vertex) showed the least percentage changes after curing and after finishing and polishing (0.37% and 0.25%).</p></list-item></list></p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="supported-by"><p><bold>Source of Support:</bold> Nil</p></fn><fn fn-type="conflict"><p><bold>Conflict of Interest:</bold> None declared.</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Woelfel</surname><given-names>JB</given-names></name><name><surname>Paffenbarger</surname><given-names>GC</given-names></name><name><surname>Sweeney</surname><given-names>WT</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Dimensional changes occurring in dentures during processing</article-title><source>J Am Dent Assoc</source><year>1960</year><volume>61</volume><fpage>413</fpage><lpage>30</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">13786165</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Becker</surname><given-names>CM</given-names></name><name><surname>Smith</surname><given-names>DE</given-names></name><name><surname>Nicholls</surname><given-names>JI</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>The comparison of denture-base processing techniques.
