  • Title: [Oral symptoms of denture wearers and the monomer content of the base plate].
    Author: Szabó G, Szentrimay M, Csekö J.
    Journal: Fogorv Sz; 1990 Jul; 83(7):205-9. PubMed ID: 2202602.
    Abstract:
    Out of 17 patients 15 cases showed mouth burning, and with 14 patients various types of mouth inflammations were found. By means of Microstix Candida test fungus was proved in 7 cases by means of gas chromatography free monomer content was in 16 dentures. The free monomer content of the autopolymerizing acrylics was between 0.04 and 1.06% (v/v). Mouth inflammation of the more grave diffuse and papillar type was not associated with higher concentration occurrence of the free monomer in the denture base plates. At the same time the causal connection in producing the clinical symptoms cannot be excluded in view of the presence of unbound metilmetacrylate monomer.
