Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Polymer Chemistry

Context:

  • Denture bases require versatile materials meeting functional, physical, and esthetic demands.
  • Over 150 years, significant evolution in denture base fabrication technologies has occurred.
  • Current materials face challenges including dimensional instability, porosity, and biocompatibility issues.

Purpose:

  • To review and classify contemporary denture base materials based on chemical characteristics.
  • To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various denture base materials.
  • To present recent advances in materials and fabrication techniques for denture bases.

Summary:

  • Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is the predominant denture base material due to its esthetics, processability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • PMMA's limitations include polymerization shrinkage, porosity, and potential allergic/cytotoxic effects.
  • Reinforced polymers, Nylon, and Urethane dimethacrylate offer improved esthetics, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility compared to conventional PMMA.

Impact:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview to guide material selection in prosthodontics.
  • Highlights the trade-offs between material properties, clinical performance, and patient safety.
  • Informs future research and development of novel denture base materials with enhanced biocompatibility and functionality.
