Urban et al./2009Vickers hardness tester and surface roughness testerEffect of water-bath postpolymerization (PP), degree of conversion, flexural strength, and microhardness, reline resinsHardness increased by PP except Ufi Gel Hard

Machado et al./2009Vickers hardness tester and surface roughness testerHardness and surface roughness, microwave and chemical disinfection, reline resins, denture resinHardness, Lucitone 550, not affected. Kooliner and DuraLiner II, increased, except Lucitone 550. Microwave 2 cycles, increased roughness. Tokuyama did not increase. Hardness, small decrease, 30 days
