Manova M, Krishna Kumar U, Shweta Poovani

Abstract: PMMA resin commonly used for the fabrication of various prostheses and appliances has low impact strength and low fatigue resistance. This problem becomes even more magnified in case of single complete denture where the horizontal forces are of much higher magnitude. Midline fracture is the most common problem, seen among patient with heavy masticatory loads and those with Para functional habits. A glass fibre reinforced denture aids benefit in response to fracture of denture. This article discusses in detail a case report of successful prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with glass reinforced single complete denture in relation to maxillary arch opposing natural dentition.
