IVOCLAR VIVADENT® Highly cross-linked DCL material The new SR Vivodent® S PE and SR Vivodent® S DCL tooth lines are entirely made of highly cross-linked DCL acrylic (Double Cross-Linked). This material consists of a distinctively modified variant of polymethyl methacrylate in which both the polymer and matrix are cross-linked. Cross-linked PMMA matrix Diffusion layer PMMA pearl polymer fillers Highly cross-linked prepolymer fillers The result is a material that does not only feature higher compressive strength but also similar flexibility to conventional PMMA. For this reason, improved denture longevity can be expected. A sound bond of the denture teeth to the denture base material is another advantage of the DCL material.
