The compatibility of temporary soft materials with immersion denture cleansers. 1989

A Harrison, and R M Basker, and I S Smith

This laboratory study evaluated the effect of five denture cleansers on five temporary soft materials that can be used as interim soft linings or as tissue conditioners. The materials were assessed at 3, 7, 14, and 21 days for evidence of changes in surface quality and softness. It was apparent that the correct combination of lining material and cleanser is essential to ensure the optimum function of the lining material. Since the materials used varied in softness, the appropriate choice should be based on the clinical requirement.
