Abstract :The current study has focused on reviewing the recent literature on denture base materials in order to link the findings of a large number of experiments conducted under different environment on large conditions. Many materials have been tried but most of them were discarded because they were unsatisfactory from many aspects. It is not the purpose of this review to consider the recording of unsatisfactory materials. However, it is to assess the current constraints on denture base materials and the testing procedures that are used to evaluate these materials which refers to look elsewhere is likely to be successful in what seems an endless search for material can be used as a denture base adequately in all circumstances. Finally, the alleged faults and improvements in the modified materials that are offered can only be judged in terms of their clinical suitability. If the used tests are not specifically designed to be related to the stress conditions and environment involved in service, any of the proposed material and techniques intended to reinforce the denture base materials would have insignificant practical value.
