There is evidence that Dentistry was practised as far back as 3000 B.C. in Egypt. Dentures are believed to have surfaced as a mode of treatment for replacing missing teeth around 700 B.C. Thereafter, a process began towards improvement in the quality of materials used for fabricating dentures, as the patients demanded better aesthetics, function and comfort. This review tracks the history of materials used as a denture base to the present stage and points towards the areas of research and development in the future.
