title: Properties of a new light-polymerized relining material.
abstract: This study evaluated a newly developed light-polymerized relining material. The material had lower values for bending strength than conventional resins, but laminating the denture base and the relining material increased the plasticity and thus the toughness. The fit of dentures relined with the new material was similar to that of the autopolymerizing resin. A strong adhesion was obtained between the relining material and the denture base when a new light-activated bonding agent was used.
