A fracture-resistant denture base material is obtained from an auto-polymerising or cold-polymerising composition containing(A) a liquid monomer component;(B) a powder-shaped component, and(C) at least one initiator or one initiator system for auto- or cold-polymerisation,whereby at least one member of the groups of aliphatic urethane acrylates and aliphatic urethane methacrylates is present in (A) or/and (B);whereby the fracture-resistant material shows, in particular, a fracture toughness of >;1.8 MPa*m1/2 and a fracture work of >;400 J/m2 after curing, and, preferably also shows a difference in the yellow value, also called b value, of maximally one unit after 8 weeks of storage in fully desalted water at 50° C. Preferably, no synthetic rubber is present.
