Properties of methyl methacrylate denture resins
1. Tasteless and odourless
2. Aesthetics → clear and transparent can be coloured according to oral tissue
3. Density: 1.19 gm/cm3
4. Strength: low strength but adequate for CD or PD
5. It low impact strength ( resist break upon falling) but is improved by plasticisers or rubber
6. Suf cient fatigue strength (resisting mastication forces)
7. Have low hardness ( can be scratched easily)
8. Modulus of elasticity → suf cient for use in complete and partial dentures
9. Good dimensional stability
10. Water sorption → absorb water (reversible) and expand, partially compensates processing
shrinkage
11. Polymerisation shrinkage: they shrink during processing due to thermal shrinkage on
cooling and polymerisation shrinkage
