Simplified technique for placement of a medical-grade adhesive silicone denture liner.
A simplified technique for placement and care of a long-term resilient liner has been described. The procedure can be accomplished in the dental office without an investing or flasking procedure. Finishing is easily accomplished, and the retention of the liner is secure from peeling or separating. Disadvantages include the necessity of having a satisfactory denture border prior to the procedure and the tendency of RTV silicones to develop fungal growth over a period of time without proper care.
