title: A homemade microwaveable denture reline jig.
abstract: This article describes a procedure for making a denture reline jig for processing denture base resin in a microwave oven. The jig is intended for use with the newer microwave curing denture base resins. The reline jig is economical to produce and is made from fiberglass liquid resin commonly used in automobile body repairs. The fiberglass liquid resin is strengthened by adding fillers of dental stone and chopped fiberglass strands.
