Abstract

A technique for the fabrication of light-activated maxillary record bases is described. The use of a segmental polymerization process provides improved palatal adaptation by minimizing the effects of polymerization shrinkage. Utilization of this technique results in record bases that are well adapted to the corresponding master casts.
