In vitro evaluation of shape-memory hydrogels for removable dental prostheses and optimization of phase-transition temperature for intraoral use
Removable dental prostheses require periodic relining with the loss of intaglio surface fit because of mucosal shape changes over time. Therefore, a new material with high adaptability to tissue changes over time would be beneficial.
