Comparison of Two Denture Adhesives on Mandibular Complete Denture Retention and Patient Satisfaction

“…One of the main goal of prosthetic treatment is to restore masticatory function in conventional denture wearers who suffer from decreased oral proprioception, alterations in chewing dynamics that occur with prosthetic devices and reduced denture stability and retention which is further compounded by physiologic bone resorption of the denturebearing ridge (17) . Again, the responses of the patients towards the tested adhesives were favouring their use as it improved their ability to chew and this is in accordance with multiple studies and surveys (9,10,17) . This may be attributed to the fact that improved retention and stability results in an increase in the force that can be applied during chewing, leading to fewer strokes.…”

A randomized clinical study to evaluate the effect of denture adhesive application technique on food particle accumulation under dentures

“…When hydrated with moisture or saliva, denture adhesives swell, filling the spaces between the denture and oral mucosa and providing strong cohesive bonds between the two (Kumar et al, ). This can result in improved denture retention and stability, which in turn improves chewing efficacy and ability, increases comfort and wearer satisfaction, and minimizes the accumulation and ingress of food particles between the denture and oral mucosa (Goncalves, Viu, Goncalves, & Garcia, ; Grasso, ; Kapur, ; Kumar et al, ; Munoz et al, ; Papadiochou, Emmanouil, & Papadiochos, ; Tarbet, Boone, & Schmidt, ).…”

“…When hydrated with moisture or saliva, denture adhesives swell, filling the spaces between the denture and oral mucosa and providing strong cohesive bonds between the two (Kumar et al, 2015). This can result in improved denture retention and stability, which in turn improves chewing efficacy and ability, increases comfort and wearer satisfaction, and minimizes the accumulation and ingress of food particles between the denture and oral mucosa (Goncalves, Viu, Goncalves, & Garcia, 2014;Grasso, 2004;Kapur, 1967;Kumar et al, 2015;Munoz et al, 2012;Papadiochou, Emmanouil, & Papadiochos, 2015;Tarbet, Boone, & Schmidt, 1980). Several studies have cited food entrapment or accumulation under dentures as one of the most common complaints in denture wearers, leading to pain and discomfort (Aghdaee, Rostamkhani, & Ahmadi, 2007;Brunello & Mandikos, 1998;Gosavi, Ghanchi, Malik, & Sanyal, 2013).…”

Influence of composition and powder/water ratio on adhesion strength and initial viscosity of powder-type denture adhesives based on CMC-Na and PVM-MA

“…It has been shown that the application of DA to either well-or ill-fitting dentures leads to improvement in denture retention and wearer satisfaction [11][12][13] . Furthermore, a shortening of masticating cycle time and increases in occlusal force and masticating rate have been observed with DA application [14][15][16] . It has also been found that DA influence the retentive force of dentures worn by patients with xerostomia 17,18) .…”
