There are various denture base resins commercially for manufacturing of it and it has its own mechanical limitations. Among which fracture of the denture base is the most common one, Various reinforcement methods have been used to prevent recurrent fracture, however repeated fractures frequently occur <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/jR6r5">(1)</a>,<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/nfsV0">(2)</a>. Those failures are attributed to insufficient flexural strengths of denture bases and it is considered as a primary mode of clinical failure<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/4EnrX">(3)</a>,<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/ycIrV">(4)</a>. Various methods to strengthen acrylic resin have been suggested. These include chemical modification to prepare high impact resin<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/3UFUx">(5)</a>, mechanical reinforcement glass fibers<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/ICgT2">(6)</a>,<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/tmhqR">(7)</a>, sapphire whiskers,<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/z9dYy">(8)</a> aramid fibers, carbon fibers<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/GmAVA">(9)</a> metal wires,<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/8wV4f">(10)</a> nylon,<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/7Aygp">(11)</a> polyethylene fibers,<a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/9A4eG">(12)</a> and zirconia <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/I3ploW/F7mVI">(13)</a>.</p>}, journal={Journal of Coastal Life Medicine}, author={M.
