Tissue conditioners are temporary, soft lining materials used in dentistry to improve the fit and comfort of dentures while allowing the underlying oral tissues to heal. These materials help distribute pressure evenly across the soft tissues, reducing irritation and soreness caused by ill-fitting dentures. Tissue conditioners are often used for patients experiencing denture-induced trauma, inflamed gums, or after surgical procedures. They provide a cushioning effect, adapting to the changing contours of the gums as healing progresses. Unlike permanent soft liners, these materials are meant for short-term use and require periodic replacement. This temporary solution enhances patient comfort while preparing the mouth for a more stable, long-term denture adjustment or relining. Regular follow-ups ensure proper monitoring and timely replacement for optimal oral health.
