Abstract
Resilient denture liner materials can be useful for tissue-supported implant-retained overdentures. They allow physiologic movement of the denture toward the tissues. This article presents a technique that offers several advantages over other methods of fabricating the overdenture with a resilient liner, and of transferring the superstructure: the acrylic resin base and the heat-cured resilient liner material are cured simultaneously; superstructure blockout is performed in the laboratory instead of in the mouth, where blockout is difficult; and direct transfer of the superstructure bar is more accurate and eliminates possible fracture of the duplicated superstructure if formed in die stone.
