Abstract:BACKGROUND The mechanical properties of polymers can be improved by electron beam irradiation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of denture base resins after irradiation with electron beam with an energy dose of up to 25 KGy. METHODS In this study, four different denture base resins were used namely, DPI, Trevalon, Trevalon HI, and Meliodent heat cure acrylic resins. Mechanical properties of the denture base resins after exposure to electron beam post-curing were studied. The irrad… Show more
