Reaction of oral soft tissues to three elastomeric prosthetic materials using a mucosal contact method.
A mucosal contact method for the evaluation of the soft tissue reaction to materials is described. The use of this longitudinal test method in evaluating three elastomeric prosthetic materials is discussed. The results indicate that all three polymeric materials are inert when left in contact with the oral mucous membrane for periods up to six weeks.
