Instructions to Construct a Repeatable VERSACRYL Reline


A thermo-adjustable VERSACRYL Reline incorporated into a lower denture

Each VERSACRYL Laboratory kit contains:

  • VERSACRYL Softener monomer
  • VERSACRYL Hardener monomer
  • VERSACRYL clear and pink polymer powders

The recommended proportion for a reline is: 80% Softener to 20% Hardener. Mix Softener and Hardener and stir for 10 seconds. If a translucent pink is desired, add a drop of red ortho color.

Alternatively, you can use the specially formulated: Versacryl Reline Kit contains:

  • VERSACRYL Pre-mixed Reline monomer liquid (83% Softener / 17% Hardener)
  • VERSACRYL pink veined polymer powder only
  1. Determine whether the reline may be considered small, medium or large. Using the measuring cups, dispense:
    Small: 5ml liquid - Medium: 7ml liquid - Large: 10-12ml liquid.

  2. Slowly add the VERSACRYL powder while stirring, until the consistency is light creamy (approx. 2 parts powder to 1 part liquid).

  3. Two methods to construct a VERSACRYL reline:
  • Double-pack heat-cure into a new denture: flask, remove wax and pack denture with pink acrylic and with a spacer to create enough room for the VERSACRYL reline material. Trial press using a polyvinyl sheet and re-open flask. Remove the spacer and repack the void with the VERSACRYL mixture. Close flask, final press and process as usual.

  • Self-cure onto an existing denture in a jig: cut back and prepare the surfaces by roughening and priming with Hardener using a brush. Quickly apply the creamy VERSACRYL mixture to all contact areas, then add and press the bulk into the jig. Process as usual in a pressure cooker and finish.
