      methacrylate) denture base material.

AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile properties and water absorption 
      of denture base material prepared from high molecular weight poly methyl 
      methacrylate (PMMA) and alumina (Al2O3) as particulate filler. Specimens for 
      mechanical testing were prepared by adding composite powder to the monomer 
      followed by hand mixing as in dental laboratory procedure. The tensile strength 
      of the prepared denture base material was slightly higher than commercial denture 
      base material, while the water absorption was almost the same for all formulation 
      of denture base materials.
