A THIN FILM DENTURE RELINER BONDING AID AND A PROCESS OF SECURING DENTURES IN THE ORAL CAVITY

摘要

This invention is a process for bonding a denture (1, 10) to the tissue surfaces of the jaw over which the denture is superimposed during use. This comprises the steps of providing at the interface of the denture and the jaw's tissues a liquid irreversible hydrocolloid of an alginate dental impression formulation (5, 15); applying pressure to the denture so that it presses into the tissue surfaces, causing the liquid hydrocolloid to flow within such interface; and allowing the hydrocolloid to solidify within the interface. Also described is a novel relatively thin film, setting hydrocolloid denture aid, the set, and the cushiony thin film denture aid obtained from it.
