Manipulation and various stages of PMMA manual mixing and handling for denture fabrication: (a) PMMA powder in a mixing bowl; (b) pouring of the monomer solution into PMMA for mixing; (c) sandy stage, whereby the monomer solution has full wetted and saturated the PMMA particles; (d) start of stringy stage; (e) progression of the stringy stage; (f) dough stage ready for packing and plastic molding; (g) rubbery stage followed by the hardened PMMA, whereby plastic deformation is no longer possible; (h) fabricated denture using heat-cured PMMA and acrylic teeth after finishing and polishing.
