Temporary soft liners: a modified curing technique to extend liner longevity.

A modified curing technique that will extend the useful clinic life of temporary soft liners has been described. This technique offers the following distinct advantages over the traditional method of intraoral curing: (1) a liner that is less porous; (2) a liner that maintains its resilience intraorally for extended periods; (3) a liner that exhibits minimal discoloration over time; (4) increased density that allows adjustments to be made when necessary; and (5) minimized separation from the acrylic resin denture base.

Proliferative periostitis of Garré: its differentiation from other neoperiostoses.

A review of 15 well-documented cases of proliferative periostitis reported in the literature and a description of six new cases, five fully documented, have shown the following: a variety of irritants both odontogenic and nondontogenic in origin may induce neoperiostosis in the mandible; radiographically, cortical redundancy and preservation of the original cortical outline are the most common findings; and microsocopically, a fibro-osseous pattern evincing one of the three trabecular orientations--parallel, retiform, or haphazard fibrous dysplasia-like--is featured. If other complicating factors are absent, after the suspected source of irritation has been eliminated, resolution takes place in six to 12 months in most instances.
