Summary
This study details a method for creating a well-fitting temporary denture base using autopolymerizing acrylic resin and soft reline material. This technique ensures a stable record base for accurate dental impressions.
Area of Science:
- Dental Materials Science
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Accurate record bases are crucial for fabricating well-fitting dentures.
- Temporary soft reline materials offer improved comfort and stability during the impression process.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a technique for fabricating a temporary denture record base using combined acrylic resin and soft reline material.
- To evaluate the suitability of this method for creating accurate dental impressions.
Main Methods:
- Autopolymerizing acrylic resin was combined with a temporary soft reline material to form a record base.
- A rigid acrylic resin was processed over a wax spacer, which was subsequently removed.
- The loose-fitting base was relined on a master cast with soft reline material and cured in a pressure pot.
- A mono-poly mixture was used for sealing, with an option for visible light-curing material.
Main Results:
- The described technique successfully produced a temporary record base.
- The combination of materials allowed for a relined, stable base on the master cast.
- The method is adaptable, allowing for the use of visible light-curing materials.
Conclusions:
- This fabrication technique provides a viable method for creating accurate temporary denture record bases.
- The use of soft reline material enhances the fit and stability of the record base.
- The procedure is adaptable to different material choices, including visible light-curing options.
