SOLUBILITY OF ACRYLIC RESINS, SOFT DENTURE RELINING MATERIALS AND TISSUE CONDITIONERS

In recent decades, the prevalence of edentulism and the incidence of tooth loss has decreased in europe and other industrialized regions; furthermore oral implants are becoming more popular. however in coming decades most patients with complete or partial edentulism will continue to receive conventional prosthodontic treatment. soft denture relining materials are often used in order to gain retention for maxillofacial and complete dentures, to treat the traumatic supporting tissues to provide the comfort for patients and of improved resorbtion of residual alveolar crets. tissue conditioners are also used for balancing the distribution of the loads. the solubility property is one of the main reason of the the structure of the acrylic resins, soft relining materials and tissue conditioners. in this article the solubility property of the acrylic resins, soft denture relining materials and tissue conditioners are reviewed.
