Comparative Analysis of Acrylic Methods in Orthodontics to Improve Treatment Quality

Abstract

The acrylization of oral orthopedic devices should be performed by dental mechanic’s professionals, as it requires experience and precision to achieve optimal results. This study focused on evaluating and comparing the bulk and salt-and-pepper acrylization techniques used in the fabrication of oral orthopedic devices. An observational qualitative study was conducted with two groups of 10 third-semester mechanical students. The results showed that Veracril acrylic, due to its ease of handling and polymerization without thermal treatment, is more suitable. Additionally, improvements in acrylization and polishing practices were suggested to optimize the strength, durability, and comfort of the devices. The study concludes that the bulk technique with Veracril provides better finishing quality and shorter manufacturing time, thus proposing an improved laboratory procedure guide in orthodontics for future applications
