Background: Denture bases undergo repeated flexing during mastication leading to fatigue failure, demanding a high fatigue strength property. Flexural (transverse) strength is required high to prevent catastrophic failure under load for success. Denture base resins are fabricated by three different types of manufacturing: Compression molding, injection molding and computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) milling technique.

Materials And Methods: An study was conducted on 40 patterns which were invested, and a burnout casting procedure was used, using a Ni-Cr alloy to obtain the cast copings. The cast copings were divested, cleaned, and run through a finishing procedure.
