Abstract
Introduction:Microwave curing involves direct energy absorption by the materials. It has the beneficial effects on processing time, faster curing rate, with more potential advantages over thermal curing such as energy saving, lower operating
costs, reduced time for complete curing, more uniform curing, higher efficiency, increased process control, reduced degradation, increased throughput & good physical, mechanical& thermal properties. Microwave processing has several timesaving advantages over conventional processing of denture base resins.
