Study Notes
Denture Lining Materials
- Denture lining materials are soft materials used to create a cushion on the fitting surface of dentures.
- Two main types exist: tissue conditioners and soft liners (acrylic or rubber).
Tissue Conditioners
- Definition/Use: Temporary cushion to prevent masticatory loads from transferring to underlying tissue. Used post-surgery, for functional impressions, and to treat irritated denture-bearing mucosa.
- Composition: Powder (ethyl methacrylate polymer), liquid (aromatic ester, ethyl alcohol, butyl phthalate).
- Reaction: Solvent liquid (not monomer), gelation reaction (physical), volatile evaporation as solvent.
- Properties: Very low hardness, flowable, no reaction with tissue (good biological effect), weight loss (solvent evaporation), small dimensional change.
- Replacement: Needs replacing every 5 days due to plasticizer loss; kit includes lubricants for easy excess material removal.
Soft Liners
- Use: For knife-edge ridges, thin mucosa, patients with bruxism or clenching, and patients having psychological issues with hard dentures.
- Requirements: Resilient, dimensionally stable, adheres to the denture base, good rupture properties, and compatibility with tissue (easy processing and low water absorption).
- Classification: Temporary and permanent based on acrylic/rubber type (cold-cure, plasticized, heat-cure). Temporary liners are replaced due to plasticizer loss and water absorption; permanent ones due to fungal growth.
- Classification details: options for how they are made (chair-side or laboratory). Permanent options can last several months.
Recent Advances
- Light-activated type: Single paste in opaque plastic cartridges.
- Addition of nanoparticles: To improve anti-microbial and antifungal properties.
- Acting as mechanical barrier: To decrease water absorption and solubility of chemical components.
- Creating a roughness of the fitting surface: To improve tensile bond between the denture and soft liner.
- New materials: heat cured polyphosphazine, fluorinated nitrogen, and phosphorous elastomers are examples of recent advances and newer materials.
Temporary Soft Liners
- Composition: PMMA, MMA, initiator, tertiary amine, plasticizer and aromatic ester, ethanol.
- Reaction: Chemical polymerization reaction.
- Properties: Loose resiliency (after 1 month), poor adhesion, cracking on the surface, not easy to clean, and poor biological effects.
Permanent Soft Liners
- Types/Preparation: Heat or cold cured acrylic or rubber (silicone), room temperature vulcanization (RTV), and heat temperature vulcanization (HTV).
- Properties: Fungal and bacterial growth can cause rapid degradation, leading to bad odor.
- Manipulation: Laboratory-processed/fabricated
