It has been shown previously that high levels of residual monomer have a deleterious effect on the properties of denture base polymers. Levels of residual monomer were determined on a homopolymer and a copolymer using gas-liquid chromatography. A wide range of recommended and 'short cut' curing cycles were then investigated which produced values ranging from 0.56 to 18.46%. From the ranges examined an optimum cycle of 7 h at 70 degrees C and 1 h at 100 degrees C was established which was used to polymerize 23 currently available synthetic denture base polymers. Only small differences were found between the materials tested with a range from 0.54 to 1.08% of residual monomer.
