Different authors have suggested various methods, however no single method can be used reliably to select artificial teeth. This study aims to assess dimensional relationship of maxillary anterior teeth with inter hamular distance which may assist in the artificial teeth selection. \u0000Materials and methods: This clinical study was carried out on 95dentate subjects meeting the inclusion criteria. Prior to impression making, hamular notch was located precisely with T-burnisher and was marked with indelible pencil. Impression of maxillary arch was made using irreversible hydrocolloid impression material and casts were poured using Type III dental stone. Measurements were made directly on the cast using digital vernier caliper. The contact point widths of maxillary right and left maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors and canines were measured. The distance between the right and left hamular notch was measured. The sum of contact point widths of all maxillary anterior teeth was calculated. All the data were recorded and statistically analyzed. \u0000Result: There is a positive correlation between combined width of maxillary anterior teeth and inter-hamular notch distance with Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) 0.217 and p value 0.035 which is statistically significant. \u0000Conclusions: There is significant correlation between combined width of maxillary anterior teeth and distance between right and left hamular notch. This correlation is valuable and practicable in estimating the six maxillary anterior teeth width.

The primary problem is its poor strength characteristics, including low impact and flexural strength. The fatigue failure occurs when the denture base deforms repeatedly through occlusal forces, hence dentures tend to break during usage in due course of time. The aim of this study was to measure and compare the flexural strength of heat cure Polymethyl methacrylate denture base resin with and without reinforcement of polyethylene fiber. \u0000Method: A total of 52 specimens (maxillary complete denture) were divided into 2 groups (n=26); Group A(Control): Dentures without reinforcement, Group B: Dentures reinforced with Polyethylene fiber. All specimens were subjected to three-point bending test in UTM. A flexural load was applied to each maxillary complete denture at a speed of 5mm/min until fracture and the flexural load required to break specimen was recorded. \u0000Results: The mean values and standard deviation of each test specimen group was calculated and statistical analysis of obtained values was done using ANOVA. Mean flexural strength for Group A was 142.66±29.95 MPa and Group B was 218.88±29.96 MPa. Group comparison showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) between group A and B. This suggested that flexural strength for specimens reinforced with Polyethylene fibers was significantly higher than specimens without reinforcement. \u0000Conclusion: Reinforcement of heat cure polymethyl methacylate denture base resin with polyethylene fiber resulted in significant increase in flexural strength.
