Physical and mechanical properties of two commonly used denture base materials and a recently introduced denture base material were compared in this investigation. The materials were pressure molded Lucitone 199 and injection molded SR-Ivocap and the pressure molded ProBase Hot . Physical properties of polymerization shrinkage, water sorption and water desorption, and the mechanical properties of deflection in three point bending (ADA Specification No. 12), modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity were evaluated. Polymerization shrinkage was measured by comparing the linear measurement of...
