(1) Introduction: Denture adhesives (DAs) promote stability, chewing ability, and quality of life. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of original brand DAs and white brands in their retention of conventional complete dentures. (2) Methods: This study followed the recommendations of the international standard ISO 10873. Three original brands of DA (Corega® Fixação 3D, GlaxoSmithKline®, Stafford Miller Ltd., Dungarvan Co. Waterford, Ireland), KuKident® Pro Procter & Gamble Technical Centres®, Ltd., Whitehal Lane, Germany and Elgydium® Fix, Laboratórios URGO® SL, Florida, Spain) were compared to three white brands (Fixação Extra Forte Pingo Doce®, Laboratórios Cosmodent®, Cantabria, Spain), Fixador de Próteses (Continente®, Propack®,Gmbh, Ladenburg, Germany) and Creme Fixador de Próteses (Auchan®, Ellipse®, Roubaix, France). Their retention capacities were analyzed using a mechanical test device. (3) Results: The mean retentive ability of original brand adhesives (M = 11.16, SD = 5.27) was significantly higher (t(298) = 11.88; p < 0.001) than that of the white brands (M = 5.92, SD = 1.18). When comparing all brands, statistically significant differences were also observed, F(5.294) = 707.68 (p < 0.001). The generic adhesive results were more homogeneous. The generic brands from Continente® (M = 5.24, SD = 0.94) and Auchan® (M = 5.80, SD = 0.79) were not significantly different, while the Pingo Doce® brand obtained significantly higher mean retention results (M = 6.71, SD = 1.28). (4) Conclusions: The original brands of DA have a significantly higher retentive ability than the white brands. Elygidim® Fix had the worst result of the three original brands, and the product from Pingo Doce® had the best result among the three white brands.
