Subsurface porosity is due to_____________?

Correct answer: A. Thermal changes

  • A. Thermal changes
  • B. Thickness of the resin
  • C. Lack of temperature
  • D. Packing past the dough stage

Explanation

Subsurface porosity in acrylic resin commonly results from overheating, which vaporizes monomer within the resin mass; the risk rises in thick sections. Packing beyond the dough stage mainly causes poor adaptation or other packing defects rather than being the principal cause here.
