A Comparative Analysis of the Effect of Three Types of Denture Adhesives on the Retention of Maxillary Denture Bases: An In Vivo Study

Abstract

There are many factors involved in the success of a good quality complete dentures, one of them is retention. There are some forcing situations where providing optimal retention may be a problem, in which use of denture adhesives is recommended. In the present study, primary and secondary impressions were made on 20 completely edentulous patients, master cast was fabricated. Master cast was duplicated; heat-cured denture base was fabricated. The retention test for control group, powder group, wafer group, paste group was done using a customized force sensor device. Readings was subjected to ANOVA followed by post hoc test. Results show that the retention force value of the paste group was the maximum, followed by powder group, wafer group and the least retention force value was observed with control group. Within the limitations of the study it can be concluded that the paste form of denture adhesive has the best retentive property compared to the powder and wafer.

A Study to Evaluate and Compare Efficacy of Denture Adhesives in Complete Denture Patients

“…The intergroup analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in retentive ability of all denture adhesives at all time intervals (p > 0.05). This is in accordance with Salman and Ibrahim, 12 but the results were contrary to other studies done by Pachore et al, 22 Kumar and Thombare, 15 Chowdhry et al, 14 and Berg et al 30 where paste form of denture adhesives performed better compared with the powder form as the powder form dissolves in saliva and loses its effectiveness with time while paste form has an oily medium, which does not dissolve easily in saliva.…”

“…Kapur 27 and Salman and Ibrahim 12 also shared the similar opinion for use of well-fitting denture for the testing of retention. Kumar and Thombare 15 and Pachore et al 22 used only the denture bases for evaluation of retentive ability of the denture adhesives.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] There are many in vivo and in vitro studies in literature, which have evaluated specifically the retentive ability and efficacy of different types of denture adhesives both subjectively and objectively, but with varying results. [12][13][14][15][20][21][22] Therefore, this study aims to evaluate and compare the retentive ability of four denture adhesives, which are commercially and easily available to the patients.…”

Measuring the retention of removable mandibular prostheses by a standardized model: A technical report

“…Several previous clinical studies have shown that the retention of complete maxillary dentures or base plates was measured with specially designed devices that were complex to set up and required space for equipment. [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] van Kampen et al and Geckili et al used instruments similar to universal testing machines in clinical studies. [ 4 8 ] In addition, portable and small devices have been used in other clinical studies.…”

Retention of denture bases fabricated by three different processing techniques — An in vivo study

“…On the other hand, denture adhesives improve retention and stability for ideal as well as for compromised ridges. [ 6 7 ] However, these adhesives showed carcinogenic changes in the underlying tissues. [ 8 ] This in vivo study was performed to determine the effect of conventional, anchorized, and injection molding processing techniques on the retention of maxillary denture base.…”
