It is impossible to say at ex­ actly what point this proced­ ure becomes necessary since many factors affect the rate of shrinkage. Among these factors are: shape of the mouth, individual biting pat­ tern, and the original health of the bone and gums. The actual procedure in­ volves the addition of acrylic material to the surface of the denture whieh contacts the ,gums. There are two ways of accomplishing this. An "office" reline is one wihich is done in one visit through the use of a quick curing material molded di­ rectly in the mouth. In com­ parison, a "laboratory" reline involves creating a model of the mouth on which the den­ ture is refitted using t!he same t,we o« materia'l as the original.
