摘要

Specimens of denture base resins were repaired with autopolymerizing and visible light-cured (VLC) repair materials. Flexural properties were measured and revealed that the highest strength and toughness of joint are obtained by the autopolymerizing repair material and are independent on the base resin. The VLC materials exhibited a lower repair strength (22% to 58%) and toughness (9% to 33%) than those of the autopolymerizing resin. No interaction between base and repair material was detected, which was attributed to poor adhesive bonding created at the interface.
