I had my dentures relined yesterday,they were done straight away with a soft acrylic paste and put in my mouth,after leaving the dentists i started to get a bad burning sensation and sore throat ,went back to dentist he said it was a gum irratation and it would go away,i cannot wear my dentures,mouth hurts throat sore.Will this go.He said i may have an allergy to acrylic.not wore dentures since but gums still irrated 48hrs later.Any advice please
Hello. Yes u had pointed correctly it can be allergy to relining material. Reliner contains monomer which causes sore throat and burning sensation. And it will take approx 7-15days to completely heal. If a cold refiner was used and u gets the same symptom again on wearing denture after 7 days then it is allergy to other contents of the relining material. And that refiner needs to be replaced. Meanwhile u can use analgesic, anesthetic mouthwash for relief...and take some antiallergics. A denture is usually made of acrylic. Heat cure mostly and u were using denture earlier so you are not allergic to heat cure acrylic/ acrylic itself. U can get a new denture fabricated or ask your dentist for relining by heat cure acrylic. Remember in cold cure relining material unused monomers causes adverse chemical reaction on mucosa sometimes. So u should always avoid this type of relining or rebasing in the future.
