To ensure homogeneity of the two mixtures containing PMMA powder, these solutions were stirred overnight at 4C.
S-resin, stable resin directly from the bottle; DS-resin, destabilized resin after activation with aluminum oxide. The poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) filler, hardeners H1 and H2, and the regulator are included to ensure optimal polymerization and block quality. The indicated volumes of resin mixtures equal total volume. Embedding, 9 vol R5 A + 1 vol R5 B.
