Properties of LTV Vinyl Silicone Rubber-based Resilient Denture Base Liner and Directions for Use

Abstract

The authors have developed a new type of resilient denture liner which consists of LTV vinyl silicone rubber as a principal component. The product's features include good resilience against mucosal supporting tissues and excellent properties of adhesion to the denture base resin. A further advantage is that it does not deteriorate, even after years of use. This article describes the properties of the material, the directions for its use, and several clinical examples.
