The acrylic denture bases are most commonly used as compared with metallic denture bases at present. For this reason, it is due to many excellent properties, for example, simple processing, easy repair, cheapness and so on. But an inherent disadvantage is liability of an acrylic denture base to make thick so as to maintain stiffness and strength and it makes patients uncomfortable. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to make the palatal region of the upper complete denture thin with about 0.7 mm in thickness, and to keep the same mechanical properties as the normal resin dentures using the composites materials with carbon cloth. Tensils test of the plate test-piece and uniform bending test of the upper complete denture with steel wings were respectively performed. The results obtained in this investigation are as follows: 1) The acrylic composites reinforced with carbon cloth have shown the superior mechanical properties to be compared with the acrylic resin to be generally used. 2) The thickness of the reinforced thin denture is decreased to 0.7 mm (its thickness is 60% of the normal thickness of the one), nevertheless, the stiffness and strength are increased with the using of the composite materials. 3) The region of highest surface tensile stress in the denture was on the polished surface of the palatal aspect of the denture in the area immediately behind the anteriors, but at this region, the strain of the reinforced thin denture base decreased its strain 10% in comparison with the non-reinforced normal thick one.
