This study evaluated the effect of two commonly used methods of processing permanent soft liner on tensile bond strength between denture base and soft liner. Silicone based soft liner was used in this study. Ten heat cure dumbbell shaped specimens along with soft liner were processed together. Another ten heat cure dumbbell shaped specimens were fabricated and later relined with soft liner. All the specimens were subjected to tensile bond strength test. Specimens relined directly with soft liner at the time of processing the denture base resin showed significantly higher bond strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
