ABSTRACT: The purpose of this project is to modify denture base resin for use as artificial teeth material. Generally,
resin for denture base will harden within a few minutes but the working period for artificial teeth shaping is about
30 min. Adding methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer to dilute accelerator and adding hydroquinone (HQ replica watches) as an
inhibitor are considered in order to extend the solidifying time of denture base resin. The ratios of denture base
resin/MMA in this study were 3:1, 2:2 and 1:3 v/v and the concentration of HQ was varied from 0.01-0.05 wt%. The
results indicated that both HQ and MMA prolonged solidification time of denture base resin and HQ was more effective
in increasing working time than MMA. However, the introduction of HQ and MMA decreased mechanical properties of
the resin including flexural strength, flexural modulus and hardness, so further modifications such as addition of fillers
are required.
