The Rheological Properties of Fluid Denture-Base Resins

Abstract

The rheological properties of six commercial fluid denture resins were determined by rotational viscometry. Initial viscosity ranged from 67 to 575 centipoise at a rotational speed of 10 revolutions per minute. All resins showed initial non-Newtonian flow behavior and increased viscosity with time.
