  • Title: Use of a light-polymerized composite removable partial denture base for a patient hypersensitive to poly(methyl methacrylate), polysulfone, and polycarbonate: a clinical report.
    Author: Tanoue N, Nagano K, Matsumura H.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2005 Jan; 93(1):17-20. PubMed ID: 15623992.
    Abstract:
    This article describes a light-polymerized composite denture base used for a patient with hypersensitivity to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polysulfone (PSF), and polycarbonate (PC). A urethane-dimethacrylate (UDMA) composite was used as an alternative to fabricate both the denture base and the custom artificial teeth. Immediately after placing the new prosthesis, allergic symptoms disappeared from the patient's mucous membrane. The denture has functioned satisfactorily for more than 2.5 years without recurrence of the hypersensitivity.
