  • Patent number: 6534562
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tough denture and a method for producing the denture, which includes solid PMMA as a main component, being added to polar elastomer selected from a group of polyacrylate rubber copolymer, methylmethacrylate-alkylacrylate-styrene terpolymer, and fluororubber, and is fabricated in a process of being mixed and injected into a denture mold. A PMMA denture of present invention shows improved safety to living organisms and increased productivity of molding because of excellent mechanical properties and remarkable elution volume decrease after polymerization in comparison with ordinary type dentures of heat-polymerized PMMA. Furthermore, it is possible to widely apply the denture clinically because of good adaptability in oral applications with economical advantages.
