CD Relining & Rebasing Complete Dentures
Rebasing
Replacing entire denture base. Flasking, heat-cured acrylic. Flasking, heat Usually porcelain teeth.
Relining
Resurfacing the tissue surface. Jig used to maintain OVD & occlusal contacts with chemical-coldchemical-cold-cure / light-cure acrylic resin. lightOr Reprocessing with heat cure resin.
Indications
Denture no longer fits residual ridge. Retention, stability are lacking. PLUS
Occlusion is acceptable. Vertical dimension is acceptable. Denture teeth / gingival contours acceptable.
Contraindications
Complaints of a loose denture DOES NOT in itself: itself: - constitute evidence of a lack of fit and stability. stability.
Occlusal interferences
- Tactile, articulating paper, remount
Coronoid interferences
Side to side movements, PIP
Flanges overextensions
Pull on the cheeks, lips, patient move tongue
Relines Can Only Solve Retention Problems Related to Denture Base Adaptation
Types of Relines
Processed or chairside Impression or functional technique Hard acrylic or resilient Permanent, temporary Complete or partial dentures
Make impression for least stable denture first. Easier to stabilize the other denture.
Reference for occlusion & vertical dimension.
Impression Technique
Difficult to reline without:
Encroaching on inter-occlusal space. inter Displacing the supporting tissues. Altering occlusal contacts.
USE CARE
Adjust Occlusion
Obtain stable occlusal contacts. Remount & adjustment may be required. Assess need for tissue conditioning.
Allows impression to be removed from the: the: - cast without breaking cast or denture. denture.
Border Mold
Relieve borders 2 mm short of vestibule. Border mold with compound. Maxillary posterior border at vibrating line (indelible stick).
If inter-occlusal distance is excessive, relief may not be interrequired. Perforate denture with #4 round bur.
Impression Material
Poly-vinylPoly-vinyl-siloxane
Ease of use. Cleaning, removal from undercuts. Requires adhesive carried to the external surface of denture borders.
Impression Procedure
Load carefully. Excessive material can reduce freeway space. Dry tissues.
Impression Procedure
Seat denture anteriorly. anteriorly. Slowly rotate posterior into place. Ensure denture is not too far forward.
Verifying Position
Patient closes lightly until first contact If occlusal interdigitation is poor, physically move denture Maintain position until set
Evaluate Impression
Trim impression to posterior border. Place / mark the posterior palatal seal. Check retention, extension, periphery. Remove excess (occlusal, facial etc). (occlusal,
Deliver ASAP, usually next clinical appointment Same day in practice, if possible
Remount
Adjust Occlusion
Impression Technique
Advantages
Only two appointments needed. Tissues are captured at rest (less possibility of distortion). Allows for greater extension of peripheries. Allows placement of functional posterior palatal seal.
Impression Technique
Disadvantages
Possible alteration in VDO, occlusion, facial support. No chance to test retention and comfort under function.
Functional Relines
(Lynal, Visco-gel) Lynal, Visco-
Functional Relines:
Limitations:
Cannot extend borders greater than 4 mm. Reline material distorts too easily. If grossly under extended: - use impression technique.
Functional Relines
Material requires greater thickness for accuracy Usually need to reduce denture to allow for thickness
Lynal
10 ml powder : 2 ml liquid, mix 30 sec. If borders short or too thin, add more powder for increased viscosity. Thicker consistency can be formed into a 3 - 4 mm rope and placed around borders.
Lynal
For tissue base, mix as per instructions. Place intra-orally. intra Remove excess with cotton swab prior to set.
Functional
Impression: Impression:
Advantages
Functionally molds peripheries. Ability to assess patient comfort and retention prior to reline proper.
Functional Impression
Disadvantages
Variability of materials, handling characteristics. Resiliency masks overextensions which can subsequently irritate, when converted to acrylic resin.
Functional Impression
Disadvantages
Dimensional stability variable:
Patient care. Pouring of casts.
If required, a new cast must be made. Make an alginate impression with the RPD in place.
