Silicone based denture liners are superior to acrylic based denture liners but it has a problem of failure of adhesion with the denture base. So study was performed to evaluate the effect on the tensile bond strength of silicone based liner when the denture base resin was treated with different chemical etchants prior to the application of the resilient liner. It was concluded that chemical treatment of denture base resin improves the bond strength of denture liner.
