Question 87 · LDEK · Dental laboratory technology

Streaks and discolorations of acrylic material occurring in removable dentures result from the errors in heat-polymerization such as:

  1. A. using too little amount of monomer and pigment sedimentation.
  2. B. using too little amount of monomer and short-term polymerization.
  3. C. too short initial polymerization phase.
  4. D. short-term heat-polymerization.
  5. E. pigment sedimentation and deflasking the denture from the hot flask.
Hint

Streaks and colour patches indicate an inhomogeneous dough — think about mixing proportions and pigment distribution rather than curing time.
