Abstract: Removable dentures fabricated from polymethylmethacrylate material are the most common prostheses used to treat edentulism worldwide. This research aimed to compare the sorption and solubility characteristics of a mechanically polished heat-cured acrylic denture material and a light-cured varnished material against non-treated material, all of which were soaked in distilled water. A total of 45 specimens were prepared and tested according to the ISO Standard 20795-1: 2013 (E) to test for sorption and solubility. The data were analysed through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison test.
