Introduction: Toothlessness is one of the final stages among oral diseases and leads to resorption of the alveolar bone. The problem is usually solved by making a conventional denture, which restores the patient's functions of the dental system and thus the natural appearance of the face. However, this does not prevent further resorption of the oral mucosa and the alveolar bone, which continues throughout life. Consequently dentures no longer fits optimally. Therefore with jaw movements, dentures tend to move and sting. To improve the condition, we use the dental relining procedure, in which we fill in the gaps created between the existing denture and the gums. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to present, with the review of professional literature and articles, both types of dental relinings (direct and indirect) and explain plus describe the procedure of indirect dental relining in more detail. Methods: We reviewed professional literature and articles obtained from online databases and the library of Zdravstvena fakulteta. In the practical part, we made the upper and lower denture and pictorially showed the process of indirect dental relining. Results: The thesis presents materials and aids for the indirect dental relining and its pictorial presentation. Discussion and conclusion: Denture relining is the most cost-effective and used rehabilitation in solving the problem of alveolar bone resorption, but it is not a long-term solution. There comes a time when relining is no longer possible and effective. A different approach needs to be taken. Rehabilitation using dental implants is becoming increasingly widespread and long-term successful method.
