Some Aspects of the Chemistry and Physics of Dental Resins

M. Braden

Dental School of The London Hospital Medical College, University of London, Turner Street, London E1 2AD, England

The status of denture-base poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) has been reviewed, and in spite of the availability of mechanically superior injection-molded resins, it remains the material of choice. PMMA can be reinforced with fibers, the most recent being ultra-high-modulus polyethylene fibers. Various elastomer reinforced materials are also available. Alternatives to room-temperature polymerizing PMMA resins include higher methacrylates and epimine resins. High-modulus resins have been produced with Bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, involving an anti-plasticizer function. Also reviewed are room-temperature polymerizing initiators, radio-opaque resins, and studies on polymerization shrinkage.
