Featured Application The paper presents a recent study on the characterization of the composite materials with improved functional properties that can be used for dental prostheses. Abstract The study involved research related to the selection of the material with improved functional properties that can be used for dental prostheses. An innovative system of nanofillers, that differ in shape, by means of gelatin-modified halloysite nanotubes (HNTs-g) along with silane-coupled aluminum trihydrate (ATH-sil) was prepared, in order to observe a synergistic improvement of acrylic material (methyl methacrylate with methyl methacrylate monomer (MM/mMM)). Selected mechanical properties of manufactured nanocomposites, along with utilitarian properties, like hardness, buffer solution absorption, and abrasion resistance, along with a fall test from the height of finished products have been discussed. Moreover, the study of the biofilm formation on the surface of dental prostheses confirmed the occurrence of a synergistic improvement of properties and the legitimacy of using modified mineral nanofillers in the form of a hybrid system.
