Author/yearMethod usedStudy objectives Outcomes

Kasuga et al./2011Hardness values in Shore A durometerCompare fluorinated monomer soft lining materials, conventionalNo hardness difference, experimental fluorinated soft lining materials, Molloplast B

Mese and Guzel/2008Hardness values in Shore A durometerStorage duration on tensile bond strength and hardness, acrylic resin and silicone linersHardness, higher with increased duration of immersion

Santawisuket al./2013Hardness values in Shore A durometerTensile strength, tear resistance, and hardness of experimental silicone elastomers (ESE)Hardness, ESE increased with amount of silica filler (from 6 to 10 phr)

Kutlu et al./2016Surface roughness testerSealer coating, roughness of soft liningRoughness, methacrylate-based liners increased, denture cleanser. Sealer coating, no effect, roughness

Mante et al./2008Hardness values in Shore A durometerPermaSeal, hardness of soft relineSealer reduced saliva softening effect, methacrylate-based soft reline

Kim et al./2014 [33]Hardness values in Shore A durometerHardness and bond strength of long-term soft denture liningHardness, 28-day increased compared to 24-hour

Kanie et al./2009Hardness values in Shore A durometerEvaluate experimental light-curing soft lining materials (ESLMs)Hardness, UA-16, UV-32, and UV-35 similar to commercial denture liner

Badaró et al./2017Hardness values in Shore A durometer and surface roughness testerR. communis dentifrice (10%) on abrasiveness, hardness, and color change of a denture linerWeight loss, roughness similar to Corega. Colgate, Corega Brite, roughness from 0.26 to 0.34 μm. Brushing, no effect, hardness

Dayrell et al./2012Surface roughness testerSealer coating, bond strength and roughness of linersPalaseal coating, no effect, liners roughness. Without sealer coating, no difference observed on roughness

Machado et al./2012Surface roughness testerRoughness of denture resin, hard and resilient lining materialsNo differences, initial roughness, Lucitone, Sofreliner, Tokuyama Rebase II, and New Truliner. Immersion 4%, chlorhexidine increased roughness. Ufi Gel Hard and Sofreliner, after 1 and 2 disinfection cycles

Cazacu et al./2009Hardness values in Shore A durometerHeat curable silicone, tested as a linerHardness, 59 ShA

Mainieri et al./2011Surface roughness testerRoughness, soft liners with and without surface sealer after brushingRoughness, sealed COE-SOFT increased baseline, 1 month. Ufi-Gel with and without sealer coating, after 6 months

Machado et al./2011Surface roughness testerRoughness denture, hard and resilient lining materialsRoughness, Tokuyama Rebase II and Ufi Gel Hard similar or > New Truliner. Lucitone and Tokuyama Rebase II, no affected immersion desinfection

Mancuso et al./2012Hardness values in Shore A durometerAgeing effect, hardness, absorption, solubility, and color denture linersThermocycling influenced hardness

Leite et al./2010Hardness values in Shore A durometerHardness valuesThermal cycling increased hardness, Elite Soft. Decrease for Kooliner

Pisani et al./2012Hardness values in Shore A durometer and surface roughness testerColor stability, hardness and roughness, denture liners cleansers’ immersionHardness increased. Hypochlorite altered hardness. Elite Soft, highest roughness

Bertolini et al./2014Hardness values in Shore A durometerHardness, chlorhexidine diacetate or chlorhexidine hydrochloride soft liningHardness, no changes, antimicrobial agents

Chladek et al./2013Hardness values in Shore A durometerMechanical changes denture liners, silver nanoparticleHardness, greater 25 Sh. A, 10 ppm, 40 ppm

Urban et al./2014Hardness values in Shore A durometer and surface roughness testerHardness and roughness, liners with antimicrobialSoftone roughness increased, miconazole and chlorhexidine. Trusoft did not increase. Hardness and roughness, little changes
