Description

Ufi Gel SC is an excellent soft reline material. The light pink, transparent silicone material is intended for chairside relines of partial or complete dentures. It can be used on patients with insufficient fit or retention of dentures, flabby ridges, and for adaptation of immediate dentures. The reline material can self-cure intraorally in 6:00, or it can be processed in the laboratory using a pressure vessel. It is designed to have high tear resistance and bond strength, while remaining soft over time. The kit contains a 50-ml auto-mix cartridge of reline material, mixing tips, adhesive, glazing base/catalyst, and a polishing disk. Twenty-two consultants evaluated Ufi Gel SC in 86 prosthetic procedures over a three-month evaluation period. This product received a 96% clinical rating.
