Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effect of applying resilient liners on the internal surface of the upper complete dentures in two different methods by forming negative pressure which increases the retention in upper complete dentures and comparing the upper dentures retention values before and after methods application. Materials and Methods: Twenty follow-up edentulous patients have been selected from the removable prosthodontics department, Faculty of Dentistry, Tishreen University patients, to have their new complete dentures, In the first method, an autopolymerized soft resilient liner was applied to the upper complete denture's internal surface in form of mini suction cups with specific diameter and depth, and these mini suction cups look-alike octopus tentacles and can form a negative pressure on the denture bearing mucosa. The second method works on applying the soft resilient liner in parallel to dentures borders in a specific width and thickness, afterward, retention was measured in kilogram units using a digital retention measurement device, medians were calculated from obtained results to be compared with values of retention for the two methods and the retention value of the witness denture bases before two methods application. Results: There were statically significant differences between mean values of retention before and after the application of two methods compared to witness denture bases. Conclusion: From the obtained results we can conclude that the soft resilient liner application in the two methods may contribute in increasing retention values in upper complete dentures.
