What is the purpose of relining a denture?
What is the purpose of relining a denture?
- To border mold the denture with green stick compound
- To replace the denture base with new material without changing the occlusal relations of the teeth
- To create a butt joint between the denture and the flanges
- To resurface the denture base with new material to make it fit the underlying tissues more accurately (correct)

Study Notes
- Denture rebase process involves separating the denture from the cast, cleaning the cast, preparing the denture by reducing the intaglio surface and lubricating certain areas
- If the denture base is not suitable for relining, a rebase can be done instead which involves trimming back the acrylic denture base, fixing the block of teeth in place, and adding new base material
- Rebasing process uses a denture flask to create a new base for the denture
- Tissue conditioning is necessary before making new dentures or relining old ones to improve the health of the oral mucosa
- Procedure involves having the patient close into centric relation, checking occlusion and vertical dimension, and applying tissue conditioner which is left in place for several hours
- Tissue conditioners can be made of silicones for long-term use or plasticized acrylics for short-term use
- Denture repair involves assembling fractured pieces with wax, trying them against a cast or opposing dentition, and making necessary adjustments to ensure correct fit
- Common denture fractures include midline fractures of the maxillary denture and tooth fractures
- When repairing a fractured complete denture, cause of the fracture must be determined and corrected, and the pieces assembled with wax against a cast or opposing dentition to ensure proper fit
- Repair process may involve removing acrylic from the denture surface, adding new acrylic, and adjusting the occlusion.
