Abstract: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base material is the most widely used to fabricate denture bases due to its various advantages. However, this material is still far from ideal in fulfilling the mechanical requirements of a prosthesis. Therefore,scholars have devoted themselves to its modification in recent years. Many studies have reported improvement of PMMA denture base material with the addition of fibers reinforcement. This paper reviews polymethyl methacrylate denture base material enhancement combined with the articles published during the recent decades. Specific attention is given to the effect of fibers on polymethyl methacrylate properties.

Key words: Polymethyl methacrylate , reinforcement, fiber
