Long Description
Acrylic resin is a synthetic plastic material frequently used in dentistry for fabricating dentures, temporary crowns, and orthodontic appliances. It is favored for its moldability, durability, and lightweight properties.
The material is used in both hard and soft forms, allowing it to be adapted for various purposes—from rigid denture bases to flexible liners that improve comfort. It can also be colored to closely match the appearance of natural gums and teeth.
Despite its versatility, acrylic resin can wear over time and may require relining or replacement. Proper cleaning and regular dental checkups are necessary to maintain its performance and hygiene.
