Why NOVUS Will Enhance Your Dentures


For many people, dentures are important and essential.  As a prosthetic device, it aids to have a normal way of life. It provides a great benefit not just for aesthetic reasons but for eating and speaking better.

Most dentures are made to last for several years. If you learn proper care and apply the right dental habits you can ensure it lasts. But over time they are subject to normal wear and tear and may need to be replaced. A common occurrence however is the need for it to be relined sooner rather than necessitating a replacement. This is because most people’s gum line change with age and the longer dentures are worn. While the dentures itself are still okay, you may find that they no longer fit properly. When this happens dentures can slip or click with movement and can cause soreness to the gums as well as affect speech. Rather than replacing a complete denture which can be quite expensive, denture relining can be done to replace the inner portion that comes in contact with the gums with a new lining to make it fit better.

Denture liners are typically made of an elastic material that serves as a cushion for the gums. In the past common materials include phthalate- or alcohol-plasticized acrylics, silicone rubbers and polyurethane or vinyl polymers. They were functional yet had their own disadvantages. Some easily harden over time, do not bond well, and are not resistant to fungal growth, to name a few. They may necessitate relining in just a short time or may cause other or more complications instead.

As a result of continuous research to solve the above mentioned problems, Novus permanent resilient denture liner was created. Made of polyphosphazene, a semi-organic polymer, Novus does not harden, is resistant to fungus overgrowth, has low water absorption, bonds well to acrylic denture bases, and can be easily adjusted, polished and molded. Dental practitioners who have used Novus have received positive feedback from their patients. Dentures are made more comfortable hence chewing and speaking become more normal. It can also be used in new dentures for longer lasting use, a more functional fit and for ultimate comfort.
If you are one of many people looking for high quality and long lasting dentures request your dental practitioner for the Novus denture liner in your denture. Not only will it enhance your denture but your quality of life as well.

Product Review: Lang Dental's Novus Soft Reline Material

September 12, 2011 -- As a profession, many of us have adopted the practice of using soft reline materials for our edentulous patients. Options in the past have included either chairside procedures or laboratory-processed materials.



As seen in the responses from the Catapult Group (see table below), a variety of issues are associated with soft reline materials. The biggest concern for a soft/resilient denture liner, regardless of whether the material was used chairside or was laboratory-processed, is the longevity of the softness/resilience. The second most cited failure is the lack of a durable bond to the denture base.

Loss of softness 100.0%
Debonding from base 71.4%
Color change 57.1%
Odor 85.7%
Bacterial/fungal growth 57.1%
Polishability 57.1%
Other 14.3%
With these as issues, the Catapult Group was very interested in reviewing a soft reline material from Lang Dental Manufacturing called Novus.
Per the manufacturer, the virtues of this laboratory-cured complete denture liner include:

  • Shock absorption during chewing (more patient comfort with fewer adjustments)
  • Permanent softness (Shore A durometer = 35, no plasticizers to leach out)
  • Resistance to surface and subsurface fungal growth (less fouling, odor, or stain)
  • Low surface tension with excellent wetting
  • Easy adjustment and polishing with rotary instruments
  • Engagement of deep anatomical undercuts
  • Moldable around implant heads and bars, or around overdenture abutments, to provide denture retention, stability, and support, and allow denture movement toward the abutments and tissues
  • Excellent bonding to acrylic denture bases
  • Uses standard dental laboratory compression-molding processing steps

Lang Dental Manufacturing's Novus soft reline material.
The liner is also x-ray opaque and can be identified if parts are swallowed or inhaled (let's hope not!).
Novus was extremely well received by the Catapult evaluation cadre. On a scale of 1 (the best rating) to 5 (the worst) at insertion, Novus scored 1.86 for texture and softness and 2.0 for denture base bonding. At the follow-up visits, the texture was unchanged and the denture bonding, overall appearance, and assessment of fit were all excellent. These results are seen in the table below.

Superior
1

2
Acceptable
3

4
Unacceptable
5
Rating
Average
Color and appearance 14.3% 57.1% 28.6% 0.0% 0.0% 2.14
Resilience softness 28.6% 57.1% 14.3% 0.0% 0.0% 1.86
Bonding to denture base 42.9% 28.6% 14.3% 14.3% 0.0% 2.00
Ease of adjustment 42.9% 28.6% 14.3% 0.0% 14.3% 2.14
Subjective fit 28.6% 57.1% 0.0% 14.3% 0.0% 2.00
These numbers reinforced that the group found adjusting and polishing this material relatively easy -- something that has been troublesome with many of the soft reline materials we have implemented over the past few years. In addition, the color is unique and does not appear as denture-based traditional acrylics.

Novus maintains color, texture, and softness for a long period of time.
Maintenance of the newly relined denture is simple, utilizing conventional denture cleansers. It is not recommended that the denture be scrubbed with any abrasive as that roughens the surface, which has adverse effects on keeping it clean in the long run.
The Novus material is antifungal and bacteriostatic, so there is no growth on the surface of the denture.
As this short-term review indicates, this product shows great promise for providing dentists and their patients a solution to a chronic problem of finding a truly resilient liner for dentures that maintains color, texture, and softness for a long period of time.
