Abstract
Aim: To comparatively evaluate the effect of two different molding techniques and two different palatal vault depths on the linear dimensional accuracy of acrylic resin denture bases.
Materials and Methods: Forty denture bases were processed by compression and injection molding techniques on casts with medium and deep palatal vaults respectively and grouped as, Groups IA and IB: Compression molded denture bases on casts with medium and deep palatal vaults and Groups IIA and IIB: Injection molded denture bases on casts with medium and deep palatal vaults respectively. The denture base-cast assemblies were sectioned 14 mm anterior from the posterior border in the frontal section and interface gap values between the denture base and cast were measured at selected reference areas using video measuring microscope. Results were analyzed using One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Post-hoc Tukey's HSD analysis and Independent 't' test.
Results: Mean interface gap values at the sulcus, crest of the ridge and mid palatal areas respectively were: 0.2817 mm, 0.2586 mm, 0.3306 mm for Group IA, 0.2474 mm, 0.2346 mm, 0.3541 mm for Group IB, 0.1011 mm, 0.1174 mm, 0.1202 mm, for Group IIA and 0.0898 mm, 0.1062 mm, 0.1486 mm for Group IIB. No significant differences were found between the gaps at different reference areas within Groups IA and IIA. Significant differences were found between mid palatal area and the sulcus and crest of the ridge areas within Groups IB and IIB. No significant differences were found between respective corresponding areas of Groups IA and IB and between Groups IIA and IIB. Significant differences were found between respective corresponding areas between Groups IA and IIA and between Groups IB and IIB.
Conclusion: Denture bases processed by injection molding technique exhibited a significantly lesser mean interface gap as compared to those processed by compression molding technique within a given palatal vault depth and vault depth did not significantly influence the linear dimensional accuracy of denture bases processed by anyone of the mentioned techniques.
