[QUOTE="Smilestyler, post: 55996, member: 6203"] Okay, I'm not reading those last long posts, but the question was asked about using both materials in the same denture. I recently did a check up on a case that I relined last year with ivocap. The original denture base was made with probase hot and then relined using sr ivocap. Same usp shade was used but the two acrylics did not color match perfectly. Not a real issue. The one interesting thing that I found was the plaque accumulation was zero on the probase but on the ivocap there was significant plaque build. The only thing I can explain that might cause the difference is that ivocap is a high impact material and from years ago in school I recall rubber characteristics in high impact acrylic give it the resiliency to prevent breakage thereby changing the density, and therefore create less hygienic surfaces. If this is true than all acrylic that is 'high impact' will have this issue. I'm my opinion it can not be argued the more accurate fit of the ivocap regardless of the acrylic characteristics.
