Abstract (EN): This paper compares the flexural strength of resins used as denture base with a three-point bending flexural test. Three different formulations of denture base materials were analysed: heat-curing resin in total volume (Ivoclar Probase Hot (TM)), self-curing and thermoformable resin compound (Ivoclar Probase Cold (TM) and Good Fit (TM)) and thermoformable resin in total volume (Good Fit (TM)). The result of these mechanical tests showed that the thermoformable resin has similar or even higher resistance to fracture compared to the heat-curing resin.
