The aim of this study was to evaluate adhesion of CGFR polymer to a titanium surface or CGFR polymer to two different opaquer layers/with two denturebase polymers.

Aim of study: Determine flexural strength and modulus after water storage and thermal cycling of carbon–graphite fiber-reinforced (CGFR) polymers based on poly(methyl methacrylate) and a copolymer matrix, and to examine adhesion between fiber and matrix by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that MMA in different ways contribute to activation of coagulation. In addition, MMA per se is cytotoxic and may in clinically relevant concentrations cause disintegration of vascular and blood cells with potential release of proteolytic enzymes and exposure of subendothelial constituents.

Dimethacrylate (DMA) and its polymer have been proven to be very useful in a wide variety of biomedical
applications and microelectronics research. However, its strong polymerization shrinkage may introduce trouble for the application of a direct filling material.

The purpose of this investigation was to measure the conversion of five inlay materials with different curing methods. In particular, the influence of secondary curing in light ovens—that is, additional curing with light and heat simultaneously—was evaluated.
