Area of Science:

Dentistry
Prosthodontics
Dental Materials

Background:

Denture border extensions beyond the border line can cause abnormal denture movement and loss of retention.
Overextended borders may lead to sore spots and patient discomfort after denture insertion.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a straightforward technique for evaluating denture border extensions.
To utilize silicone impression material for assessing denture fit.

Main Methods:

Applying heavy body silicone impression material to the denture borders.
Inserting the denture and performing functional movements to identify overextensions.

Main Results:

The silicone material effectively highlights areas of overextension.
The technique allows for direct visualization of potential issues.

Conclusions:

This method is simple, time-saving, and material-efficient.
No specialized instruments or devices are required for this evaluation.
