RESUMO

The purpose of the study was to verify the linear displacement of the teeth in complete upper denture made with acrylic resin, with monomer content indicated by the manufacturer, with 25% in excess and 25% less, in the conventional and microwaves polymerization techniques. Thirty casts were made with type III stone plaster, based on silicone mould, representing an edentulous maxillary arch with normal edge. The wax baseplates were manufactured in a ±2.5mm thickness and the wax rims with 10 mm of posterior height and 20 mm of anterior height. The stone cast related with the wax rim was fixed at the top stem of semi-adjustable articulator, adjusting the intercondylar distance in Medium, the angle of Bennet in 15 degrees and the condylar guidance in 30 degrees. A mandibular arch with teeth was placed on the wax rim and fixed on the bottom shaft of the articulator, positioning the incisal pin to zero. After mounting the artificial teeth, the denture was removed from the articulator and impressed with silicone. The teeth were placed in the impression mold and over them it was poured a liquid wax, until the mold filling was completed. Before solidification of the wax, the stone cast mold was adapted in the impression and kept in position until the wax setting. After wax setting, the stone cast- denture with artificial teeth set was removed from the silicone impression. Reference points were fixed over the median region of the incisal edge of central incisors, buccal cusp of the first premolar and distal-buccal cusp of the second molars in drill holes performed for fixation of the metal pin segments with instantaneous adhesive based on cyanoacrylate. The measurements were made in the transverse distances among: central incisors; first premolar; second molar, and anteroposterior among: central right incisor and right molar; central left incisor and left molar, with a linear comparator microscope before and after denture procedure. In the groups with monomer content recommended by the manufacturer, the dentures were conventionally pressed. In the other groups, the same procedures were adopted, with exception of the monomer content that was 25% in excess or 25% less. The dental displacement data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey s test (5%). There was no statistically significant difference among the groups with the monomer content recommended by the manufacturer and other groups, in both conventional and microwaved activations. To change the content of monomer to more or less in relation to monomer-polymer proportion did not influence the linear displacement of the teeth in transverse or anteroposterior directions
