Refreshed Denture, No Patient Downtime

Refresh Denture Fit in 5 Days - Without Sending to the Lab

What is a Digital Reline?

A Digital Reline is a fast, chairside workflow that refreshes the fit of an existing denture without the need for sending it to the lab. Patients keep their denture throughout the process and receive a brand-new Signature Denture, digitally designed to match their current anatomy, delivered in just 5 business days.

When to Use Digital Relines

This workflow is ideal for patients with existing dentures who need improved fit but do not require a new prosthesis. Common use cases include:

• Tissue changes post-delivery
• Minor discomfort or looseness
• Re-adaptation after healing

Why Digital Relines?

• Patients keep their dentures—no downtime without their appliance
• Faster than traditional analog lab relines or full remakes
• Ideal for post-healing adjustments or retention issues
• Uses the same premium materials as Dandy’s Signature Dentures

Materials Used

• Base: Lucitone Digital Print Resin (Dentsply Sirona)
• Teeth: Lucitone Digital IPN Premium Tooth Resin
• Manufacturing: Carbon™ 3D printed
• Turnaround Time: 5 business days

Workflow Steps

• Step 1. Opposing Arch Scan:
  • Scan the opposing dentition.
• Step 2. 360° Extraoral Scan WITHOUT Wash:
  • Scan the denture to be relined (without impression material in place) and 
  • Capture a bite scan.
• Step 3.360° Extraoral Scan WITH Wash:
  • Apply light body wash and repeat 360° Extraoral Scanning, capturing the new intaglio surface. Scan the denture to be relined (with impression material in place).
  • Submit the case through the Dandy portal.
• Step 4. Delivery in 5 Days:
  • The new Signature Denture is delivered to your office. The patient receives a better fit without ever losing their denture.

Tips for Success

Follow these best practices to ensure a smooth Digital Reline workflow and optimal fit:

• Impression Technique
  • Use a light wash impression: No need for full border molding, just enough to capture updated tissue anatomy.
  • Scan with the impression material in place: Do not remove the wash before scanning. It helps preserve anatomical accuracy.

• Scanning Best Practices
  • Capture full borders: Ensure complete scan coverage of peripheral anatomy for best fit and retention.
  • Scan extraorally: Take a 360° extraoral scan of the denture for clean, distortion-free data.

• Patient Selection
  • Know your ideal candidates: Perfect for immediate denture follow-ups or long-term wearers with retention issues.

What You’ll Receive

• A new precision-fit, relined Signature denture
• 5-day turnaround from scan to delivery
