Several modifications to the denture base PMMA resins have been tried in recent years to improve the physico-mechanical and biological qualities. Polymer and monomer alterations are two types of modifications that can be found. Advances in polymer science have resulted in innovative polymers with higher impact strength and fatigue resistance, high-impact polymers and fiber-reinforced polymers, for example. This survey tries to determine the level of knowledge and awareness on the applications of these modified monomers in acrylic denture base resin among dental practitioners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
