Abstract:
Polyvinyl siloxane is useful in protecting the locking mechanism of a swing-lock removable partial denture, making the flasking and deflasking much easier. Polyvinyl siloxane is stiff enough that acrylic resin can be packed against it and easily removed after the partial denture has been deflasked.
