Fibre-reinforced and repaired PMMA denture base resin: Effect of placement on the flexural strength and load-bearing capacity.

Objectives: To measure the effect of placement of glass fibre mesh on the flexural strength and load bearing capacity of repaired polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resin.

Materials And Methods: A total of 150 heat-polymerised acrylic resin specimens were fabricated with dimensions of 5 × 30 × 50 mm for flexural strength testing. Specimens were divided into 5 groups according to repair width and placement of the fibre mesh.
