Complete dentures are a common line of treatment for edentulous patients. Many patients suffer from dentures fracture and changes that occur after repairing of the denture, different material and fracture edge profiles have been used for denture repair and to enhance denture accuracy after repair. Aim: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of two different processed maxillary complete dentures before and after repair with using two different techniques. Materials and methods: 20 acrylic maxillary complete denture are constructed using long cycle processing (10 denture) and microwave processing technique (10 dentures), dentures were sectioned at the mid-line and repaired using (auto polymerized acrylic resin and fiberglass mesh reinforced for acrylic repair improvement), denture were scanned and saved as STL file, superimposed and measured for adaptation, accuracy was measured, data were collected tabulated and statistically analyzed using paired T-test. Results: Showed no significant differences using glass fiber reinforced mesh or using only auto polymerized acrylic resin for repair of fractured denture with different processing technique. Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, changing the technique of repair or the processing technique of denture base doesn’t affect the accuracy of denture after repair.
