Forming models and brazing parts, both of which require high accuracy, are greatly affected the polymerization shrinkage of pattern resin. In 2018, a lower-shrinkage autopolymerizing pattern resin (PRK) was introduced. In this work, we compared the rate of polymerization shrinkage between PRK with that of three autopolymerizing resins —GC Pattern Resin (GPR), Pi-Ku Plast (PIK), and Fixpeed (FIX)— as controls. The shrinkage percentages at 10 min were 7.26±0.88 for PRK, 10.78±2.28 for GPR, 8.03±1.08% for PIK, and 7.46±1.25 for FIX. The shrinkage of PRK was significantly lower than that of GPR. The lower-shrinkage autopolymerizing resin contains some multifunctional monomer and indicated that the amount of monomer was accordingly reduced from the result of polymer size and abundance ratio. Our results suggested that the monomer component and the polymer particle size were factors that contribute to reducing contraction of the resins.
