Questions and Answers

What is the result of inadequate packing pressure on the mold?

  • Improved coefficiency of thermal contraction
  • Irregular voids on the surface of the denture (correct)
  • Uniform polymerization of the acrylic dough
  • Increased polymerization shrinkage

What is the effect of residual monomer on the denture?

  • It makes the denture weaker and more flexible (correct)
  • It has no effect on the denture's properties
  • It makes the denture stronger and more rigid
  • It increases the denture's optical properties

What is the primary cause of contraction or shrinkage porosity on the surface of the denture?

  • Insufficient dough packed in the mould (correct)
  • Packing before the dough stage
  • Underpacking of the material
  • Overpacking of the material
