An investigation was designed and carried out to compare methyl acrylic resin processed by three methods--boiling, in the heat platen press, and a 9 hour, 75 degrees C cure. The material was cured in certain thicknesses in the heat platen press and by boiling without porosity. All samples cured for 9 hours at 75 degrees C had no porosity. The value of the heat platen press as a time-saving device and its applications in a maxillofacial laboratory were discussed.
