Direct relining of a complete denture is necessary to improve its accuracy and fit using self- or light-cured materials. This procedure involves applying the relining material directly to the tissue-fitting surface of the denture chairside, providing a quick and cost-effective solution. Direct relining is particularly useful for patients requiring immediate adjustments or temporary solutions. The procedure ensures the denture remains stable and comfortable, improving functionality and patient satisfaction.
Providing a quick and cost-effective solution for improving denture fit and comfort enhances patient satisfaction, enabling them to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Direct relining reduces the risk of complications such as displacement or discomfort, ensuring the prosthesis remains stable and comfortable. Additionally, it allows for adjustments or repairs, maintaining the functionality and aesthetics of the restoration. By addressing retention issues, the procedure prevents complications such as discomfort or failure, ensuring long-term success.
Ensure proper application to avoid uneven pressure distribution or debonding. Use advanced bonding techniques to ensure a strong and durable bond, reducing the risk of debonding or failure. Verify the fit and margins of the relined denture to ensure it does not interfere with the patient’s bite or cause discomfort. Educate the patient on proper care and maintenance of the denture, emphasizing the importance of avoiding habits like grinding or clenching.
