A Study to Evaluate the Fracture Toughness of Denture Base Resin Reinforced With Nanomaterials as an Innovative Denture Base Resin

Objective

The most widely used denture base material, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin, by itself exhibits poor fracture toughness. The present study aimed to assess the fracture toughness of this denture base resin incorporating calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CNPs) and titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) in varying concentrations.
