The results reported in this paper are part of a continuing study of the reinforcement of acrylic denture base resins with highly drawn linear polyethylene fibres. Water sorption is significantly reduced by incorporation of these fibres, even though the water diffusion processes as such remain broadly unaffected. Clinical trials are encouraging and the reinforced dentures have been well accepted by all the patients.
