Purpose: This laboratory study investigated the influence of water storage on the durometer hardness of 2 RTV and 3 HTV soft denture liners over a 1-year period.
Materials And Methods: Five soft denture liners were used: 2 HTV silicone rubber (Luci-Sof and Molloplast-B), 1 RTV silicone rubber (Tokuyama), 1 HTV polyphosphazene (Novus), and an RTV plasticized acrylic (PermaSoft) that uses a surface sealer. They were processed following manufacturers' instructions, cured, and stored in tap water at 37 degrees C.

Both length of extra-alveolar time and type of storage media are significant factors that can affect the long-term prognosis of replanted teeth. Numerous studies have examined various media in an attempt to determine the ideal material for storage of the avulsed tooth. The purpose of this study was to use a Collagenase-Dispase assay to investigate the potential of a new storage media, Propolis, in maintaining viable periodontal ligament (PDL) cells on simulated avulsed teeth.
