An in vitro study. PG - 14-22 AB - PURPOSE: This laboratory study conducted to evaluate and compare the influence of different flask closure methods on linear dimensional changes of standardized simulated maxillary complete dentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty casts were made from a silicone mold representing an edentulous maxillary arch. Thirty identical maxillary dentures were made and randomly assigned to 3 test groups (A, B, C). In Group A, flasks were placed directly in pressure clamp after trial closure. Group B: The final closure was done in a hydraulic press then transferred to pressure clamp. Group C: After trial closure flask was positioned between the two iron plates of the Restriction System flask closure (RSFC) method. Then linear distances were measured three times before and after polymerization: right incisor to left incisor (RI-LI), right premolar to left premolar (RPM-LPM), right molar to left molar (RM-LM) and left incisor- to- left molar (LI-LM) and right incisor- to- right molar (RI-RM) with the help of digital caliper with an accuracy of 0.01mm. ANOVA and Tuckey's test were used to compare the groups (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Inter molar (LM-RM) width showed the greatest dimensional change after processing and Linear dimensions were not significantly influenced by the packing procedure. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, Restriction System flask closure (RSFC) method demonstrated a similar performance in reducing the tooth movement when compared with other flask closure methods. The posterior region of the denture may present changes in the tooth position after processing, which need to be clinically adjusted.
