Temperature distribution of heat cure acrylic resin using finite element analysis

الملخص EN

Thermal distribution of a polymer is an important physical property which may have a major effect on the dimensional stability of denture base materials.

Finite element analysis has been used to determine the temperature distribution of heat cure acrylic denture base materials, which produced by various selected curing cycles.

It was found that different curing cycles produced variations in temperature distribution.
