Soft Liner vs Tissue Conditioner

In this tip I’d like to share how I do my relines for dentures. • Whenever I am doing full arch extractions I definitely go for a soft reline with Permasoft or a Tissue Conditioning with Lynal. This helps me achieve a much better fitting denture and gives the patient comfort while they are waiting for their tissue to remodel before fabricating the final denture. • In all honesty, both materials work just the same. But here are some key differences: • Lynal: • Super long working time ❌ • Turns hard after a couple of weeks and can be uncomfortable ❌ • Not as stable within the denture (it starts to fall out of the denture sooner) ❌ • Inexpensive ✅ • Permasoft: • Shorter working time ✅ • Stays softer within the denture longer ✅ • More stable within the denture ✅ • More expensive than lynal ❌ • That said, I do prefer permasoft as patients say that it feels nicer and it is not as runny. I hate it when material is too runny and gets into extraction sockets or goes down the patient’s throat. • Notice how in the videos, I mold the tissues by pulling the patients lips. Some clinicians do this by asking the patients to smile really big and then purse their lips. I do that too, but I also use my hands to help the patient. • The reason we do this is so that the flanges of the denture are not overextended. By moving their lips, you are making sure that the flanges do not extend into the movable tissue space. • Therefore, when the patient makes these movements on their own, they won’t dislodge the denture! • I do an initial soft reline on the day of extractions, then I do another soft line anywhere from 2-4 weeks after, and then I do a hard reline at 6 months. • See all of our educational resources at: https://implantninja.com/ • Here's our online course platform: https://school.implantninja.com/
