Assessment of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Auto-Polymerized Acrylic Resins Using a Custom Pressure Vessel Technique: An In Vitro Study
Custom pressure vessel treatment enhanced the water sorption resistance and flexural strength of auto-polymerized acrylic resins without affecting their shrinkage, hardness, or color stability. These findings suggest the potential for improved durability in dental appliances, supporting the adoption of this technique in clinical practice, pending further in vivo validation.
