Background:Denture adhesives are often a matter of controversy. Patients seem to easily accept the use of denture adhesives, while professionals are more hesitant.Objective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the self-perception, bite force and masticatory efficiency of complete denture wearers with denture adhesives.Methods:Fifteen complete denture wearers had their bite force measured by a gnathodynamometer in the molar region. Subjects also masticated 12 tablets of a chewable artificial test material for 35 masticatory cycles. The test material was washed, dried, sieved and weighed. Both tests were taken with and without the denture adhesive (Corega Ultra). The questionnaire Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) was applied to evaluate self-perception with dentures.Results and Conclusion:Masticatory efficiency and bite force for the control group (without denture adhesive) and for the group with denture adhesive presented no statistically significant differences (p= 0.2080 andp= 0.2489, respectively). Self-perception according to the GOHAI index was great for 13% of participants, 40% considered it regular and 47% evaluated it as bad. Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that the use of denture adhesive did not promote an improvement in bite force and masticatory efficiency. According to the GOHAI index, self-perception of the participants was classified as bad.

Abstract Background It is difficult to maintain complete dentures during meals in place. This in vitro study aimed to assess changes in denture retention between rest and function using denture adhesives and oral moisturizers in an oral cavity model. Methods The following test samples were applied between the palatal plate and the edentulous jaw ridge model: denture adhesive, denture adhesive for dry mouth, oral moisturizer, and denture moisturizer. The retentive force was measured under two conditions: at rest while immersed in water and during function with a 2.5-kg load applied. The plate was pulled perpendicular to the occlusal plane and the retentive force was measured using a digital force gauge. Results Under dry conditions, denture adhesive for dry mouth and oral moisturizer had a significantly higher retentive force than denture adhesive and denture moisturizer. After 30 min of immersion in water, the retentive force of the denture adhesive increased while that of the oral moisturizer decreased. After 30 min of function, the retentive force of the denture adhesive and denture adhesive for dry mouth remained high, while that of the oral moisturizer and denture moisturizer significantly decreased. Between rest and function, the retentive force of the denture adhesive and denture adhesive for dry mouth was high, and that of the oral moisturizer was low. Conclusions Immediately after use, denture adhesive for dry mouth exhibited high retentive force, but retention gradually decreased due to its water content.

ABSTRACT Retention in mandibular dentures has always been a challenge for the treating dentist. Denture adhesives are known to improve the adhesive bond between the denture and the underlying tissues. However, denture adhesives still remain unexplored and not much is known about the efficacy of these materials in mandibular dentures especially in patients with poor foundations. The present study was carried out to compare the efficacy of different commercially available denture adhesives in relation to their retentive ability in patients with good well formed mandibular ridges and in patients with resorbed and flat mandibular ridges. Seventy edentulous patients, age range between 50 to 70 years, were selected. The patients were divided into 2 groups; group 1 comprised of 35 patients with good well formed mandibular ridges and group 2 consisted of 35 patients having low well rounded mandibular ridges. The adhesion and cohesion that developed between the dentures and the underlying tissues when the various materials were interposed between them was evaluated with the help of a test apparatus in newtons. Mean value of retention in denture without adhesive was 9.93 N and 24.53 N in resorbed and well formed ridges respectively. Use of denture adhesive materials led to a higher value of retention as opposed to when the dentures were used without adhesives. This was true for patients with good well formed mandibular ridges as well as for patients with poor foundations. Among the various denture adhesive powders tested, Fittydent showed better results, i.e. 29.56 and 33.05 in resorbed and well-formed ridges respectively as opposed to fixon which showed values of 16.47 and 27.70 respectively.

Abstract Background: An increase in the number of elderly edentulous patients likely leads to a greater demand for dentures and denture adhesives. As denture adhesives have both positive and negative features, dentists need to know the types of denture adhesive users to be able to provide instruction to denture wearers on how to use denture adhesives effectively. This study aims to examine the utilization of denture adhesives and associated factors.Methods: Seven closed-ended questionnaires were developed for a web-based survey. After that, Fisher’s exact tests were performed to determine the difference in the denture adhesive usage rate by gender, type of denture, last dental visit, and smoking status. A multivariate-adjusted logistic regression analysis was performed with denture adhesive use or non-use as the dependent variable and the other items as independent variables. Next, Fisher’s exact tests and a multivariate-adjusted logistic regression analysis were performed with the type of denture adhesives as the dependent variable in the same way. Statistical analyses were performed for all denture wearers, complete denture wearers, and partial denture wearers. The level of statistical significance was set at p=0.05. Results: A total of 1470 denture wearers in Japan participated in this study. Of these, 318 used denture adhesives, while 212 (66.7%) used cream; 74 (23.3%) used home liner; 25 (7.9%) used powder; four (1.3%) used sheets; and three (0.9%) used several types. The Fisher’s exact tests revealed that the ratios of using denture adhesives were significantly higher for complete denture wearers (p<0.001), last dental visit over one year (p=0.005), and smokers (p=0.005). For partial denture wearers, the ratio was significantly higher in smokers (p=0.262). The multivariate adjusted logistic regression revealed that denture adhesive use or non-use were significantly associated with the type of denture and smoking status in all denture wearers, and just smoking status in partial denture wearers. There were no significant results about the type of denture adhesive selection.Conclusions: From all denture wearers, complete denture wearers and smokers are more likely to use denture adhesives. In addition, smokers significantly use denture adhesives if they are partial denture wearers.

Background: Denture adhesive is widely used in elderly people who wear complete dentures. Chinese herbal medicine has long been used for the treatment of oral disease. The addition of herbal medicine to denture adhesive might be used to develop an adhesive which is effective for xerostomia patients. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate physical properties and cytototoxicity of herbal medicine components in denture adhesive. Methods: This study used a combination of 35wt% PVM-MA, 20wt% CMC, 40wt% white petrolatum and 5wt% liquid paraffin as base materials. Three kinds of herbal medicine components: Maimendong (Ophiopogon), Fuling (Hoelen) and Dongkuizi (Cluster mallow seed) were added to base materials of 1wt%, 5wt% and 10wt%. The initial viscosity was measured using a controlled-stress rheometer (AR-G2). The adhesive strength was quantified according to ISO-10873 recommended procedures. All data was analyzed independently by one-way Anova combined with a Turkey’s multiple comparison test at a 5% level of significance. Results: Significant differences were observed between materials in initial viscosity (p < 0.05). Specifically, samples containing 5wt% and 10wt% of Maimendong (Ophiopogon) showed higher values compared with the control samples. The larger the amounts of herbal medicine components, the greater the changes in the adhesive strength of denture adhesives over time. The denture adhesives containing herbal medicine components do not have a cytotoxic effect and are safe for use in actual clinical practice. Conclusion: The study showed that the addition of herbal medicine components does not affect physical properties (i.e. initial viscosity and adhesive strength) of denture adhesive and cytotoxicity in fibroblast cells.

Purpose: For making denture in maxillectomy cases is very difficult and challenging to get the retention tomake the denture stable in its position during functioning. This case report describes a clinical condition inwhich patient was treated with a maxillary obturator with zygomatic suspension wiring due to insufficientretention in the palate. Materials and Methods: A 63-year-old patient had gone to a subtotal maxillectomybecause following myofibroblastic sarcoma andwas issued with bilateral circum-zygomatic wiring hooksimmediately after surgery. The patient had less than a third of their alveolar ridge remaining and did notprovide sufficient retention on its own. The wires were used for the retention because natural retentioncould not get due to inadequate maxillary ridge. While the denture was being fabricated, a temporaryfeeding plate was provisioned to the patient. Counter hooks were implemented on the definitive upperdenture, posterior to molars, to attach to the zygomatic suspension hook. Final upper denture was furtherreinforced with denture adhesive on it. A lower denture was also fabricated for the said case followingconventional protocols of jaw relation determination. Results: The obturator provided with adequate sealand leak proof phonetics. The zygomatic wiring coupled with denture adhesive were sufficient to provideadequate retention. Conclusion: Zygomatic suspension wires coupled with counter hooked obturatorprosthesis provide rehabilitation of patients with palatal defects with inadequate maxillary arch forretention.However long-term repeated use of such wires might expose the patient to secondary infectionsand should be kept in consideration Clinical Significance: Circum-zygomatic suspension wiring providesufficient retention to sustain the upper obturator prosthesis in place. However, the retention was stillinadequate, so denture adhesives were used to make it more stable. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.19(3) 2020 p.582-585
