Device Story

GC Reline Soft/Extra Soft is a dental material used by clinicians to create soft relinings for dentures. The system consists of the relining material (available in Soft and Extra Soft variants), primers (Primer R and Primer M), a modifier, and silicone points for finishing. The material is applied to the denture base to provide a resilient interface, improving patient comfort and fit. It is intended for professional use in a dental clinic setting.
