General considerations prior to relining of complete dentures.
eneral considerations necessary to determine whether a complete denture reline should be attempted or a new denture constructed have been presented. Specific evaluation procedures, including the examination and diagnosis of the patient and the complete denture(s) along with a checklist of complicating factors, have been discussed. Hickey and Zarb have said: "The complicated [nature] of the conditions to be corrected makes [reline] procedures not the simple operations many patients and dentists think they are." The authors emphatically agree.

Current concepts for relining complete dentures: a survey.
Reline procedures for complete dentures have received scant attention in the literature. Fifty-seven dental colleges responded to an 11-item survey on reline procedures. According to the tabulated data, most dental schools recommended the following (not necessarily our recommendations). Leave the denture(s) out of the mouth for at least 24 hours prior to fabrication of the reline impressions. Use tissue-conditioning material only on selected patients. Use Coe Comfort as the tissue-conditioning material of choice. Place either none or one relief hole in the maxillary denture, and place no relief holes in the mandibular denture prior to the impression(s). Place relief holes along the palatal midline of the maxillary denture. No specific size is recommended for the palatal relief holes. Place 1 mm of basal surface relief and 1 to 2 mm of border relief before the reline impression is made. Use a polysulfide rubber base material as the material of choice for reline impressions. Use a closed mouth impression technique. Remove the palate from the maxillary denture prior to processing. Use heat-cured resin (Lucitone) for processing. Use pressure-indicator paste prior to delivery of the denture(s). Remount the complete denture(s) on an articulator after processing for making occlusal corrections.
