The image provided by Tomoya Takada and colleagues shows a cross‐sectional SEM micrograph of acrylic denture base resin impregnated with nanodiamond (ND). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ND impregnation on the thermal conductivity of commercially available acrylic denture base resins. It was found that the thermal conductivity of the resin was maximum when the resin was impregnated with a small amount of NDs. The colors of the ND‐impregnated resins were also compared using spectrophotometric measurements. DOI: 10.1002/app.51436
