Not to be confused with
D5761 — Reline mandibular partial denture (laboratory): It is the laboratory reline of a lower partial denture.
D5760 — Reline maxillary partial denture (laboratory): It is the laboratory reline of an upper partial denture.
D5750 — Reline complete upper denture (lab/indirect): It relines a complete upper denture in the laboratory, which fits more accurately than a chairside reline but means going without it for a time.
D5741 — Reline mandibular partial denture (chairside): It relines a lower partial denture chairside.
