[1] The use of this material is very popular because it has several advantages such as light, biocompatible, aesthetic, relatively cheap, low water absorption, easy to manipulate, polish and repair, [1,2,4,5] but this material is not yet ideal in fulfilling the mechanical requirements of a denture base because it has a relatively low impact strength, transverse strength, and modulus of elasticity, making it more susceptible to failure during clinical use.
