Chairside Denture Reline Adds Comfort, Strength

For millions of dental patients, a comfortable, perfectly performing pair of dentures that fit and function well can likely be the key to just about everything. Because when dentures work, patients can eat, talk—and even smile. A critical component of a comfortable denture lies in an expert fit and using a superior reline material. That’s where Ian Shuman, DDS, MAGD, can share his experience with using Tokuyama’s Sofreliner Tough.

Dr. Shuman has reached for Sofreliner Tough, which is available in both Medium and Soft varieties, over the last 2 decades for hundreds of denture patients in his Pasadena, MD, practice. And despite the high number of patients he’s treated over the years, he cannot recall any issues or complaints with Sofreliner Tough—ever.

Fast, Easy Chairside Solution

 A soft denture reline material with superior tear resistance that can be applied chairside in 1 appointment, Sofreliner Tough provides long-lasting patient comfort for up to 2 years with just 1 application, and is suitable for relining upper, lower, partial, or full dentures. It can also be used for sharp alveolar ridges, mucous atrophy, major undercuts, maxillary/mandibular tori, and overdenture, as well as applied to relieve pain and irritated tissue after surgery, teeth extraction, or implant procedures.

“I use the Medium formulation for stability, or if I’m relining an older denture that needs to be tightened up,” he shared. “I use the Soft formulation for sensitivity issues, such as extractions or implant healing. It's more durable and easier to use than others on the market.

With bacteria, plaque, stain, and odor resistance, and superior adhesion to dentures, Sofreliner Tough is a cost-efficient way to prolong the life of dentures.

“It’s pretty simple: it either works or it doesn’t, and it either stays put or it doesn’t. And Sofreliner Tough works and stays put,” Dr. Shuman concluded.
