The way I fix moving or loose partial dentures, I usually do a chairside hard reline in the existing denture while the patient is sitting in the chair. In this way, the extra material that is added in the existing denture will adapt better to the surrounding tissues in the mouth and the partial denture will be much stable and tighter than before. Also, I can tight the clasp around the tooth that is holding the partial denture. The process is easy, fast, and painless. We have to keep in mind that our body is changing and remodeling throughout time, but the partial denture is not. That is the main reason why we need to reline our moving partial denture every now and then.
