1. Tissue Conditioners
Tissue conditioner : A Resilient liner resin placed
into a removable prosthesis for short duration to
allow time for tissue healing. (GPT 9)
They are temporary materials used to treat the
damaged mucosa.
It is available as powder and liquid form, powder
consists of polymethyl methacrylate and liquid
plasticizer is ester based in ethyl alcohol solution

2. Uses
Adjuncts in the tissue conditioning
Persistantdenture sore mouth
Temporary obturaters
Stabilizers of surgical splints or
stents
Adjuntivein the impression making
procedure
Papillary hyperplasia
Inflamed oral mucosa

3. At the first clinical appt. the patients existing dentures are
evaluated for fit and occlusion. If they are found inadequate they
can be adapted with temporary denture liners and the occlusion is
reestablished using tooth colored cold cure acrylic.
Soft tissue conditioning is necessary to improve the health of the
soft tissues prior to fabrication of new dentures.
The procedure is repeated every 2-3 weeks until the soft tissues
appear healthy.

4. Ideal properties
•Ease of processing
•Minimum dimentional changes
•Water absorption should be minimum
•Resilience
•Good bonding with PMMA
•Easily cleansability and maintainance
•Nontoxic, odourless, and tasteless
•Asthetically acceptable

5. Tissue Conditioning Procedure
Check the flange extensions and shorten as necessary
Resin may need to be removed from the bearing surface

6. Tissue Conditioning Procedure
Mix material to a smooth creamy
consistency taking care to avoid
incorporation of air bubbles into the mix.
Apply a smooth even layer of the
material to the surface of the denture.
Before inserting the denture, immerse it
into the water bath for a few seconds.
Follow the manufacturer’s mixing instructions

7. Tissue ConditioningProcedure
Have patient close into centric relation
Verify the Vertical Dimension of
Occlusion (VDO)
Check the midline
Wait 10-15 minutes, remove and
evaluate the new liner
Carefully trim the excess material

8. Gross occlusal discrepancies should be corrected at this appointment
Restore VDO in patients with collapsed occlusion.
In this patient this has been accomplished by applying tooth colored
acrylic resin to the occlusal surfaces and reestablishing centric
relation and VDO.
Occlusal Adjustment

9. Tissue Conditioning
Life span of the material:
2-4 weeks depending upon
oral hygiene and oral flora
instruct patient not to soak the
denture in polidentor other
denture denturecleansers
