[QUOTE="bigj1972, post: 350769, member: 811"] I understand the science of the issue, so let me simplify the discussion. It's like Clinton's definition of "sexual relations". The purist technician will say that no you can't reline it. The two materials are chemically different and cannot bond acrylic with a UV composite unless you are using a bonding primer like GC Composite Primer (thanks Tom_Z). The non-purist technician will say sure... we do it all the time. Just like Valplast dentures, we drill holes through it like an impression tray so it'll stick, bag it and send it out. Done 100 of em. The dentist isn't going to know. They probably can't tell the difference between acrylic and print till it goes bad. So you just to have to pick a side. First solution is to inform your client. Let him make the decision. [/QUOTE]
