| ABSTRACTBackground: Acrylic resin has been used successfully for almost 55 years in prosthetic dentistry. Although widely usedas denture base material, acrylic resin exhibits certain poor mechanical properties induce fracture. The hardness andimpact strength properties of the experimental and heat cured acrylic denture base material were done.Materials and methods: Twenty specimens, 10 specimens for each experimental or control material were tested.The biological properties of the prepared material were evaluated in comparison with the control denture baseacrylic resin. Group 1: poly (methyl methacrylate) + methyl methacrylate as control. Group 2: poly (methylmethacrylate) 80% and poly vinyl pyrrolidone 20% + methyl methacrylate as experimental. The hardness and impactstrength properties of the experimental and heat cured acrylic denture base material were done.Results: Evaluation of the hardness value for experimental material record number 171.22, while specimens of thecontrol material showed hardness value record number 112.80. The mean impact strength value of the experimentalmaterial was 19.620 N/mm2 which are higher than that of the control material which is 14.604 N/mm2.Conclusion: The higher hardness value for experimental group is due to the incorporation of PVP which may increasestiffness. The impact strength of the experimental group is significantly higher than that of the control group.Key words: Poly vinyl pyrrolidone, acrylic, hardness, impact strength.
