Luci-Sof Injectable Soft Denture Liner is a long-term silicone,
heat-cured soft denture liner material. This product requires
the use of the Success Injection System.
1. Pour a stone cast of the impression in the denture to
achieve the desired contour (see Fig. #A).
2. Trim excess impression material smooth with wax, and
finish to final shape around the periphery. This prepa-
ration will help to minimize finishing. Optional method
is to use a reline jig method before investing. This pro-
vides easy access for denture preparation and will
help to minimize finishing (see Fig. #B).

ed). For lower dentures, place sprues as far back on
the lingual surface as possible (see Fig. #C).
