Soft
liner denture is a one type of conventional removable full denture in which
soft polymer dental material applied to the tissue fitting surface of denture
which behaves - like a shock absorbing cushion when chewing.
Most
denture wearers can wear a rigid denture base adequately, but in some patients,
gums became sore and tender (painful on touch) recurrently and chronically due
to denture. Sore gums are the major reason that some people give up on wearing
their dentures temporarily or some permanently.
Prescribing a comfortable, efficient soft liner under denture is a
rewarding experience. Permanent soft liners provide comfort and relief for
individuals with severely receded, flat or nearly flat gum tissues that do not
tolerate the stress of dentures and chronically sore gum tissues.
The
soft lining is a specially compounded dental plastic. This plastic is designed
to make your dentures more comfortable and efficient despite the tissue
irregularities, sharp bony area and undercut in tissues. This lining material
provides a spongy, cushioned layer between the hard base of a denture and the
soft tissues in the mouth.
