Clinical evaluation of a new resilient denture liner in long-term use.
The new resilient denture liner "M" was evaluated for adhesion, color stability, surface texture, tissue response, deterioration and denture base stability, at periods of 1 month, 3 months and about 30 months after denture liner application. At the observation of approximately 30 months, the usage of 17 dentures had been discontinued within 2 years, and 6 dentures continued to be used. It could be considered that the main reasons why 17 dentures were discontinued were poor fitting caused by deterioration, and a decrease in the strength of the denture base caused by the denture liner lining. It was suggested that "M" was appropriate for long-term use (about 2 to 3 years), if patients faithfully practice denture cleaning, and if the strength of denture base is considered.
