Most full denture patients visiting dental offices have abnormal inflammation of the mucosa under the denture and disruptions in the mucosal tissues.
It is necessary to give consideration to the periodontal tissue during the prosthetic treatment of cases where there are remaining teeth. The same is true for full dentures. It is not acceptable to take an impression without considering the mucosa under the denture base.
The easiest way to obtain an accurate representation of the jaw and mucosa is to have the patient not use the denture 24 to 48 hours before taking the impression. However, in terms of the patient's lifestyle, this is rather difficult, and when consideration is given to the functional occlusal and masticatory pressures imparted on the denture, the degree of compression on the mucosal tissue under the denture is ignored.
Therefore in daily practice it is necessary to have a method that uses a treatment denture and tissue conditioner (a material for conditioning the mucosa-a functional impression material) and restores the mucosal tissue under the denture to a clinically healthy condition. I would like to discuss the necessary conditions for the use of tissue conditioners.
