| Abstract: | A method for relining complete dentures has been described. This method uses a tissue-conditioning material for the impression, and an autopolymer acrylic resin to replace the impression material.Some of the advantages of this method are: (1) abused tissues can be returned to a normal condition before the impression is made, (2) a “functional impression” that incorporates the natural movements and relations of the jaws is developed by the patient, and (3) the use of an autopolymer acrylic resin and pressure curing conserves time and produces a well-cured material. |
