Voco America Inc. has announced its new and improved hard denture reline material, Ufi Gel hard C. Voco’s hard reline comes in a 1:1 auto-mix cartridge, can be used chairside, and allows the dentist to offer a fast, patient-friendly denture reline with a 10- to 15-minute procedure in only one appointment.
Ufi Gel hard C is free of methyl methacrylate, although its qualities are similar to PMMA materials. Unlike other materials, it does not show any significant heat development while polymerizing, thus allowing it to be applied easily in comparatively little time. Its flow properties ensure a precise fit, and the special adhesive included in the Ufi Gel hard C kit provides a durable permanent bond to the denture.
Ufi Gel hard C’s 1:1 cartridge eliminates the need to bleed before and after use, preserving more material and saving the practitioner additional costs. In addition, Ufi Gel hard C’s new formula is more thixotropic, allowing for improved flow of the material while keeping it in the area the practitioner intended.

Ufi Gel hard C saves the dentist lab fees and time and offers more comfort for the patient. The material is odorless and taste-free, and it has a high esthetic as well as color stability. It can be cleaned with conventional denture cleansers.
In addition to its indication for standard denture relines, Ufi Gel hard C is also indicated for enlargement of dentures, denture repairs, and lengthening of denture rims.
