A Repeatable VERSACRYL Reline

Imagine having the luxury to simply warm a denture in water and re-adjust the reline fit in seconds? And if not satisfactory, the process can be repeated over and over again or whenever deemed necessary. VERSACRYL does not produce what is commonly known as a "soft reline". At room temperature a VERSACRYL reline will feel relatively hard to the touch, at body temperature it has a cushiony effect while still allowing suction to the gum, and when heated VERSACRYL becomes very soft and adaptable to the tissues. The VERSACRYL reline should have a thickness of approximately three millimeters in order to allow ample room for flexibility and compression.

To re-fit a VERSACRYL reline the patient (or practitioner) places the denture in shallow hot water at approx. 90 degrees Celsius, for 1 minute. Then, quickly dries off the excess water and inserts, making sure the bite is correct. Clench hard for 5 seconds, then keep gentle pressure for at least 20 seconds until cooled to body temperature.
