Denture Reliners
Surface
Polished
Surface Occlusal Surface
To improve fit of the denture:
1.Replace the denture with new
2.Lining applied on fitting surface.
Denture Trauma
Epulis
Pt. who are
unable to
tolerate ‘hard’
denture base.
A soft material providing
cushioning effect, enabling
traumatized soft tissues to
recover before recording
new impression.
Chairside reline materials.
Hard Reline Materials
No
monomer
Types
Pthalate Esters
Di Butyl Pthalate
Butyl Phthalyl Butyl Glycolate
Problem
3-6000 PPM leach from liner in 14 days
Replaced with fresh material every 2 to 3 days
Gel formation not polymerization
Physical process= GELATION
Solvent dissolves small polymer beads
Large beads become swollen with solvent which
acts as carrier for plasticizers.
SET MATERIAL= gel like swollen plasticized
spheres cemented together with matrix
(polymer+ matrix)
Temporary cushion
They should undergo degree of plastic flow for
24-36 hours after mixing to allow for soft tissue
changes and capture shape of the supporting
tissues in function.
1. Trauma to soft tissue- allowing time for
recovery.
2. Pt. undergone surgery (immediate denture)
3. Functional impression materials (over a
period of few days)
Should remain soft during use (cushion) but
be resilient to absorb masticatory loads
without deformation.
However a degree of permanent deformation
is required in functional impression.
Initially very soft and viscoelastic.
When loaded slowly undergo permanent
deformation.
Alcohol + plasticizers leach= dec cushioning.
Non irritant.

Applied to an existing denture in a chairside
technique.
APPLICATTIONS:
Where it is not practical to replace tissue
conditioner every 2-3 days
Temporarily improving the fit of denture until
a new denture is constructed
As a diagnostic aid to ascertain whether
patient would benefit from permanent liner.
Silicon elastomer (autopolymerized or heat
polymerized).
