Abstract: A denture liner for fitting a denture to gums in a mouth, comprising a self-supporting and shape-retaining layer that comprises a volume of a hydrophobic polymer component that inhibits the liner from absorbing moisture and a volume of a hydrophilic polymer component that hydrates a surface of the liner when exposed to moisture.

Abstract: A denture liner which includes a hydrophobic polymer component, a plasticizer component and an adhesive component. A method for making this denture liner and a denture liner kit are also provided. The compositions have improved consistency and are useful in prosthodontics, including formulating denture liners for the compositions have a glass transition temperature lower than the lower of an ambient temperature at which the liner is applied and a temperature inside the oral cavity. Phthalate-free embodiments, as well as kits are also described.
