The document discusses several technical concepts and processes over many pages in detail. Key information is repeated and summarized to reinforce important points.

The document covers a variety of technical topics related to systems, processes, components, and their interactions. Specific mechanisms and functions are explained across pages.

Information is organized into sections on each page with descriptive headings. Diagrams and lists are used to clearly present relationships and sequential steps. Important details are revisited periodically to aid comprehension.

RELINING & REBASING COMPLETE DENTURES

Improving the Adaptation of Existing 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.

Determine Cause of Looseness

Pivoting on bony structures


- PIP

Occlusal interferences
- Tactile, articulating paper, remount

Inadequate posterior palatal seal


- Pull upward & outward on lingual of canines

Evaluate Cause of Looseness

Coronoid interferences
Side to side movements, PIP

Flanges overextensions
Pull on the cheeks, lips, patient move tongue

Tight pterygo-mandibular raphe pterygo-

Relines Can Only Solve Retention Problems Related to Denture Base Adaptation

Retention problems must be: - diagnosed as to their cause

Types of Relines
Processed or chairside Impression or functional technique Hard acrylic or resilient Permanent, temporary Complete or partial dentures

Processed Acrylic Permanent Complete Denture Relines

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

Positioning the Denture


OVD & Occlusion

Adjust Occlusion
Obtain stable occlusal contacts. Remount & adjustment may be required. Assess need for tissue conditioning.

Remove Tissue Undercuts

Allows impression to be removed from the: the: - cast without breaking cast or denture. denture.

Clean the Denture

Border Mold
Relieve borders 2 mm short of vestibule. Border mold with compound. Maxillary posterior border at vibrating line (indelible stick).

Reduce Tissue Base


1 mm if acceptable intero-cclusal distance: intero Use guide grooves.

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,

Check relations intraorally Send to lab for processing

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-

Similar procedure Minor variations

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

Variation in Accuracy of Materials

(Visco-gel > Coe-Comfort) ViscoCoe-

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.

Set time: 8 - 10 minute


Lightly border mold. During setting, allow patient to:
Talk. Swallow. Rinse mouth. Lightly occlude.

Remove Excess Material


Reduce material on flanges with HOT scalpel or knife. Remove from teeth, Polished / oral surfaces. Patient wears reline home.

Patient Returns in 24-48 Hours 24-

A cast is poured within 2 hours. Otherwise, accuracy compromised

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.

Can' t significantly increase borders. Do not use simultaneously as a tissue conditioner.

Partial Denture Relines


Similar procedures. Ensure rests, direct and indirect retainers are fully seated. Seat with pressure over the rests, NOT over the distal extension bases. Allow no impression material under rests or guiding planes. If so, remake impression .

Partial Denture Clinical Remount

If required, a new cast must be made. Make an alginate impression with the RPD in place.

Partial Denture Clinical Remount


Block out undercuts on the framework while RPD is in the impression. Pour the model with the partial denture in place.
