AB  - Acrylic resins-based artificial teeth are frequently used for the fabrication of 
      dentures has and contribute a very strong share in the global market. However, 
      the scientific literature reporting the comparative analysis data of various 
      artificial teeth is scarce. Focusing on that, the present study investigated 
      various types of commercially available artificial teeth, composed of polymethyl 
      methacrylate (PMMA). Artificial teeth are characterized for chemical analysis, 
      morphological features, thermal analysis, and mechanical properties (surface 
      hardness, compressive strength). Different types of artificial teeth showed 
      distinct mechanical (compression strength, Vickers hardness) and thermal 
      properties (thermal gravimetric analysis) which may be attributed to the 
      difference in the content of PMMA and type and quantity of different fillers in 
      their composition. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results exhibited that vinyl 
      end groups of PMMA degraded above 200  degrees C, whereas 340-400  degrees C maximum degradation 
      temperature was measured by differential thermal analysis (DTA) for all samples. 
      Crisma brand showed the highest compressive strength and young modulus (88.6 MPa 
      and 1654 MPa) while the lowest value of Vickers hardness was demonstrated by 
      Pigeon and Vital brands. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs showed 
      that Crisma, Pigeon, and Vital exhibited characteristics of a brittle fracture; 
      however, Artis and Well bite brands contained elongated voids on their surfaces. 
      According to the mechanical analysis and SEM data, Well bite teeth showed a 
      significantly higher mechanical strength compared to other groups. However, no 
      considerable difference was observed in Vickers hardness of all groups. Graphical 
      abstract.
