Tokuyama Dental America will introduce Sofreliner Tough S, a complement to its existing Sofreliner Tough M, this week at the California Dental Association Spring Session in Anaheim, CA.
The Sofreliner Tough Series is an addition-cured silicone material for relining dentures on patients that require relief on upper or lower, partial or full dentures, the company noted in a press release.
Sofreliner Tough S (soft) delivers a Shore A hardness of 24 for up to 18-month relief of irritated tissue, first time dentures, after surgery, teeth extraction, or implant procedures. This solution is designed for applications where pain relief is the primary concern, according to Tokuyama.
Sofreliner Tough M (medium) provides a Shore A hardness of 43, for up to 24-month relief for patients experiencing pressure-point problems, mucous atrophy, major undercuts, or improved suction.
