Denture Reline Tips
Joseph J. Massad, D.D.S.
- An effective reline
requires both the exposure of fresh acrylic surfaces and removal of
a uniform amount of intaglio denture base. This may be accomplished
by using a Reline Ink. Apply this material to the denture intaglio and
2 to 3 mm of peripheral border. After the inked surface is cut away,
a practitioner knows fresh acrylic has been exposed. Any surface not
correctly prepared will bond improperly with relining material.
- Excess relining
material is easily removed and prevented from adhering to denture teeth,
facial and lingual surfaces by applying a thick layer of masking agent.
- After applying
the reline material to the properly prepared denture base, insert the
denture in the patient's mouth. Instruct them to close into centric
occlusion and then open their mouth. Stabilize the denture with finger
pressure while directing the patient into border muscle molding movement.
