Because residual monomer may cause tissue irritation, we investigated two self-curing acrylic denture-base materials — one a compression type, and the other a pourable material — by means of gas-liquid chromatography, Both exhibited higher residual monomer levels than did heat-cured acrylics, with thick sections having lower values than did thin sections. The pourable material showed lower values than did the compression variety.
