Is it true that tissue conditioner and soft reline can be used on a complete denture at any time?

The statement is true because tissue conditioners and soft relines are flexible materials that can be applied to complete dentures for various reasons, such as improving fit, comfort, or when there are changes in the edentulous ridge. These materials help to manage and adapt to changes in oral tissues that may occur over time or due to other factors.

Using tissue conditioners can provide temporary relief for sore spots and help the tissues heal, making them applicable at any time, even on older dentures. Soft relines, on the other hand, are more durable and can be used generally to enhance the fit of dentures, especially as bone resorption occurs and the shape of the ridge changes.

With proper application and clinical judgment, both substances serve important roles in maintaining the functionality and comfort of complete dentures throughout their lifespan, not limited to specific timeframes or conditions such as the age of the denture.
