Fabrication of a complete denture in one-visit using triad visible light cured (vlc) resin : a case report

Abstract

Under circumstances related to shortage of mate- rials or limitation of time, it can be helpful for the prosthodontist to utilize alternative procedure to expedite treatment. Triad Visible Light-Cured (VLC) resinf has been developed for many prosthodontic applications15 and has met the requirements for heat-cured base materials (American Dental Association specifica- tion No. 12). This VLC resin is available from dental suppliers in sheets of base plate thickness and in rope-form in light sealed envelopes. This VLC is similar to light-cured filling materials. The matrix is urethane dimethyacrylate with enough microfine silica to provide workable handling qualities. There is no free methyl (methacrylate) monomer in the uncured or cured material.
