ABSTRACT
In this investigation, a comparison was held between different curing techniquesusing the conventional water bath heating method and the microwave energy onthe tensile strength of a heat cure soft lining material. The results of thisstudy indicated that with the increase of microwave intensity up to 100%,while the time was constant, there was an increase in the mean values of bothtensile strength and tensile bond strength of silicone rubber soft liningmaterial. On the other hand, specimens of silicone rubber soft liner materialcured by microwave technique using 100% intensity showed no significantdifference between them and those cured with the conventional water bathtechnique
