Comparison of bond strength of six soft denture liners to denture base resin.

The bond strength of six commercial soft denture liners was evaluated using a modified tensile test. The soft denture liners investigated were Prolastic, VinaSoft, Flexor, Molloplast-B, Novus, and Super-Soft. The samples were processed according to the manufacturers' instructions to cured denture base resin (polymethyl methacrylate; PMMA). The soft denture liners were 10 x 10 x 3 mm and were processed between two PMMA blocks. The samples were placed in tension until failure. The mode of failure, cohesive or adhesive, was also recorded. The results of this study showed that the bond strength is related to the components of the materials. Prolastic, VinaSoft, and Flexor had the lowest bond strength to cured PMMA and ranged from 9.6 to 11.3 kg/cm2. Super-Soft, Novus, and Molloplast-B demonstrated better bond strengths and ranged from 16.7 to 17.6 kg/cm2. The bond strength of Novus could be improved by using the recommended bonding agent and bonded Novus at 26.1 kg/cm2 had the highest bond strength of all materials tested.

Comparison of the physical properties of 11 soft denture liners.

Soft denture liners are an important treatment option for patients who have chronic soreness associated with their prostheses. The objective of this study is to determine the tensile strength, elongation, hardness, tear strength, and tear energy of eight plasticized polymers or copolymers, two silicones, and one polyphosphazene fluoroelastomer. Tests were made on samples that were stored in a humidor for 24 hours before testing. The range of data is as follows: tensile strength, 8 to 85 kg/cm2; percent elongation, 150% to 542%; hardness, 25 to 95 Shore-A units; tear energy, 1.43 x 10(6) to 40.4 x 10(6) ergs/cm2; tear resistance, 2.6 to 26.3 kg/cm. It can be concluded that (1) the data obtained can be useful in characterizing the performance of soft denture liners, (2) there is considerable variability in the physical/mechanical properties of soft denture liners, and (3) the required essential properties for soft denture liners are as yet not known.

Color stability of long-term soft denture liners.

The use of resilient denture liners in complete denture construction has become increasingly popular for providing comfort for denture wearers. The primary disadvantage of these materials is that the physical and mechanical properties change rapidly with time in a service environment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the color stability of five commercially available soft denture liners as a function of accelerated aging. Color measurements were made before aging with a colorimeter and data processor. The samples were then weathered for 100 hours in an accelerated aging chamber in the presence of a xenon ultraviolet visible-light source, an intermittent water spray at 110 degrees F, and 90% humidity. After aging, color measurements were made again and color differences (delta E) were calculated. Results were statistically tested with analysis of variance and Scheffé intervals were calculated at 0.96. It was concluded that accelerated aging can be used to evaluate color stability of soft denture liners.

Clinical compliance of two resilient denture liners.

Although intra-oral-setting resilient denture liners have been used for 30 years to treat the severely resorbed residual ridges of elderly patients, their clinical physical properties are not well understood. The effect of clinical usage on the compliance (compressibility, flexibility) of two intra-oral-setting resilient denture liners was measured in 10 patients, for up to 30 days. The clinical compliance of Material B (Coe-Comfort) was found to be significantly greater than Material A (Veltec) for up to 14 days. At 24 h both materials had significant compliance reductions from the original 1 h measurement. These compliance reductions continued throughout the testing period. For up to 14 days of clinical usage there were no significant differences between the compliance reductions of the two materials. The study suggests that (i) Material B would provide more effective tissue conditioning of abused residual ridge mucosa than Material A; and (ii) a functional impression made with these materials should be left in the mouth for at least 24 h before the cast is poured.

Microwave processing of permanent soft denture liners.

This article describes a technique of processing a resilient soft denture liner using microwave irradiation. The technique employs a specially designed flask that can be heated in a microwave oven. The flask can be either fabricated using commonly available dental laboratory materials or purchased commercially. The microwave polymerization of the resilient soft denture liner reduces the potential warpage of the denture base that can occur during the conventional process of boiling in water for 2 hours. Additionally, microwave irradiation reduces processing time to less than 1 hour, allowing the dentist the opportunity to reline a patient's denture in a single visit. The technique is simple and requires no extensive or elaborate dental laboratory equipment.

[Study of cell supportability of clinically used soft denture liners].

The application of six soft denture liners showed different effects on the growth of gingival fibroblasts. The morphological and autoradiographical analyses revealed a graduated cellular biocompatibility. The results provide information for further examinations in more detail concerning the clinical biocompatibility of these materials.

In vivo fungal presence and growth on two resilient denture liners.

To determine whether two intraoral-setting resilient denture liners supported the in vivo presence or growth of oral commensal fungi, the liners were randomly placed in the mandibular complete dentures of 14 patients. Cytologic smears were made from the liner surfaces at 1 hour and 1, 2, 7, 14 and 30 days after intraoral placement. Yeast forms were observed in six patient trials of material A and in two trials of material B. Hyphae were observed in only one patient trial of material A and in two trials of material B. When yeast forms and hyphae findings were combined and were considered as indicative of fungal presence or growth, the prevalence up to 30 days was seven for material A and four for material B. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in the prevalence of fungal presence or growth between the two resilient denture liners tested.

Physical and mechanical properties of nystatin-containing denture liners.

The mechanical and physical effects of the presence of nystatin in three denture liners were investigated. In general, the modified materials were softer, showed greater strain, and demonstrated permanent set under compression for the duration of the tests. However, the degree of change in properties appeared unlikely to lead to reduced clinical performance. The most significant change was a great increase in the equilibrium capacity for water in the case of the modified liners. This may enhance the pharmacologic effectiveness of these liners by encouraging the release of nystatin at the tissue surface. Bacteriologic and clinical studies continue to investigate the possibility that modified semipermanent liners (Coe-Supersoft) may reduce the recurrence of denture stomatitis.

Evaluation of radiopaque denture liner.

Radiopacity is needed in polymeric biomaterials to facilitate noninvasive detection. Permanent denture liner material with barium sulfate filler is nearly as radiopaque as aluminum and would be useful in radiographic identification. If 1 mm to 3 mm thicknesses are used, it should be easily observable radiographically.

Force versus time profiles of selected heat-processed denture liners.

The potential correlation of the force versus time behavior of four resilient lining materials and their acceptance by patients was investigated. Two modified acrylic resins and two silicone denture lining materials were tested. The response of the soft lining materials to a programmed indentation test was used to define a parameter for each denture liner product. A parameter defined as the "Rebound Index," using force-time data obtained from the indentation measurements, was significantly different for the modified acrylic resins compared to the silicone materials. Improved patient acceptance was correlated with higher values of this index.

Bond strength and rupture properties of some soft denture liners.

The bond strength and rupture properties of three soft acrylic liners (Coe-Soft, Coe Super-Soft and Vertex Soft) and two silicone liners (Molloplast-B and Flexibase) were tested immediately after processing and following immersion in water at 37 degrees C for 7 and 90 days. The bond test gave variable results, as some materials partly peeled and then stretched until rupture occurred. After saturation the acrylic liners exhibited an increase in tear resistance, whilst silicone materials deteriorated, in the case of Flexibase to approximately 25% of its original value. Vertex Soft was the exception, as tear resistance decreased as water sorption increased. Scanning electron microscopy revealed indefinite demarcation between soft acrylic resins and hard denture base, which was not altered after saturation in water. On the other hand, the interface between denture base and silicone liners was clearly visible before and after saturation. The results indicated that denture soft liners had variable water sorption values depending on their basic structure, and some properties changed after immersion in water, a finding that is of relevance to prosthodontic practice.

Spacer made from a visible light-cured resin for processing denture soft liners.

When soft lining materials are used in complete dentures it is important to control their thickness and increase the probability of their staying in the denture base. A spacer made of light-curing denture base material makes it possible to do both of these things. The denture base resin is packed against the hard light-cured spacer and can be partially cured. The cured spacer will not flow or be displaced and can be easily removed to allow an even space for packing the soft lining material.
