Evaluation of radiopaque denture liner.
Radiopacity is needed in polymeric biomaterials to facilitate noninvasive detection. Permanent denture liner material with barium sulfate filler is nearly as radiopaque as aluminum and would be useful in radiographic identification. If 1 mm to 3 mm thicknesses are used, it should be easily observable radiographically.
