Procedure
- 1.
Reline the tissue side of the interim obturator base with chairside soft reline material, which will act as an impression material.
- 2.
Lubricate the remainder of the acrylic resin base of the obturator with a thin layer of petroleum jelly.
- 3.
Box the relined obturator with a 2 ¾ inch in height adhesive paper (Nacs Corp., Oberlin, Ohio).

Summary
An easy and time-saving procedure to reline and to close an open-type interim obturator using VLC resin has been described. This procedure can be used for both a late stage interim obturator and/or to correct leaking problems for patients who wear definitive obturators.
