Revolutionizing Denture Comfort and Performance
Russell Schafer, DDS, and Ryan Solorzano, CDT, on Pac-Dent’s Rodin® Soft Reline
In the evolving field of dental care, advancements in dental materials play a crucial role in enhancing patient comfort and practice efficiency. Pac-Dent's latest innovation, Rodin® Soft Reline, is a game-changer for denture workflows, offering a silicone-based reline solution in an easy-to-dispense cartridge format that addresses the common issues associated with traditional reline methods.
Introduced as a complementary product to Pac-Dent's acclaimed line of Rodin resins, Rodin Soft Reline is the first reline material that effectively bonds to 3D printed polymer bases as well as traditional denture materials. This ensures a secure, reliable bond and a consistently comfortable fit for patients, regardless of the fabrication method.
Rodin Soft Reline features an advanced formulation that provides outstanding durability, exceptional tear strength, and long-lasting performance with minimal delamination. Unlike traditional reline materials that may degrade over time, Rodin Soft Reline maintains its integrity, reducing the need for frequent replacements and modifications.
Traditional powder-liquid reline configurations present drawbacks, such as messy application methods, unpleasant acrylic odors, and inconsistent results. These materials require careful mixing and often result in uneven application, which can lead to patient discomfort and necessitate additional adjustments or even remakes. Rodin Soft Reline overcomes many of the issues presented by other materials with an easy-to-use cartridge dispensing system that uses traditional PVS guns. It eliminates the mess and odors while ensuring a precise, hassle-free application and reducing the risk of air bubbles and inconsistencies that can occur with manual mixing.
Designed with universal compatibility in mind, Rodin Soft Reline integrates smoothly with cone-beam computed tomography technology for accurate scanning of relined dentures. This feature simplifies workflows and enhances denture fit. Rodin Soft Reline also offers long-term benefits in terms of cost-effectiveness. Its durability and reduced need for frequent replacements translate to lower overall costs for both patients and dental practices.
By addressing the limitations of traditional reline materials and offering superior performance, Rodin Soft Reline sets a new standard in denture care, ensuring long-lasting comfort and satisfaction.
