Popis: Heat cure denture base is the most commonly used material for fabrication of removable prosthesis to the present day. However difficulties persist in fabrication of satisfactory prosthesis due to poor mechanical properties which have resulted in frequent repairs in dental practice. The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of Zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2NPs) on flexural strength and porosity of denture base and its correlation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to check the purity of NPs. NPs was dispersed at 1%, 3%and 5% by weight to the monomer of methyl methacrylate with aid of probe sonicator. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to observe agglomeration of particles within the acrylic. The results revealed significant flexural strength difference (p
