      material.

AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties and glass 
      transition temperature (Tg) of a denture base material prepared from high 
      molecular weight poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and alumina (Al2O3). The glass 
      transition temperature was studied by using differential scanning calorimetry 
      (DSC). The effect of powder-to-liquid ratio was investigated. The result showed 
      that the tensile properties and the Tg were slightly effected by the 
      powder-to-liquid ratio. The ratio of 2.2:1 by weight of powder to liquid was 
      found to be the best ratio for mixing the material to give the best result in 
      this formulation.
