Microwave processing of a wax trial denture into a poly(methylmethacrylate) provides a viable alternative to conventional compression, injection, and digital techniques. This article briefly describes a processing technique that yields a complete dental prosthesis in under two hours using a combination of modern materials designed to reduce working and setting times without compromising the quality of the final prosthesis.
