  • Thin film denture reliner bonding aid and a process of securing dentures in the oral cavity
    Patent number: 6224372
    Abstract: A process for bonding a denture to the tissue surfaces of the jaw over which the denture is superimposed during use which 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, applying pressure to the denture so that it presses into the tissue surfaces and causes the liquid hydrocolloid to flow within such interface, and then allowing the hydrocolloid to solidify within the interface. Also described is a novel relatively-thin film, settable hydrocolloid denture aid and the set, cushiony, relatively-thin film denture aid obtained from it.
