“…The values of retention recorded in this study are in agreement with the observations of earlier studies [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Thus the modified apparatus for measuring retention has proved its validity and usefulness in this study.…”

"Every human being has a divine right to enjoy the health to its fullest." Oral and Dental health is not an exception to this dictum. The speciality of Prosthodontics has emerged as a science to provide replacement of missing dentition for its form and functions along with associated structures. Any successful complete denture treatment combines exemplary technique, effective patient rapport, patient education, and familiarity with all possible management options in order to provide maximum satisfaction to patient. There are some forcing situations where providing desirable (optimal) retention may be a problem. In such types of patients use of denture adhesives is recommended for enhancing the quality of retention. The use of denture adhesive provides comfort and additional confidence not only by increasing the adhesive and cohesive but also eliminating voids between the denture base and the basal seat. This study is undertaken to evaluate the enhancement of retentive quality of complete denture with the use of denture adhesives available in Indian markets for the use by denture wearers.

“…The aim of this study was to determine whether loss of adhesive material decreased its effectiveness. The degree of adhesive loss increased with time, and a similar trend was also observed in the clinical study of Swartz et al (1967), although two of the adhesives used in that investigation were different. It should be noted that, in their study, the maxillary dentures were subjected to a masticatory force, while no force was applied to the in vitro portion of the present investigation.…”

“…Adhesive loss was measured using the method described by Swartz et al (1967). Each adhesive was tagged with the radioisotope "^^P, by dripping a solution of K3P^^O4 on to zinc oxide powder (0-3 |im particle size) in an amount sufficient to yield a concentration of 4 [iCi of ^^P in 0-2 g of zinc oxide.…”

Retention of denture adhesives—an in vitro study

Denture adhesives are being used by patients to aid the retention and stability of their dentures. A number of laboratory and clinical investigations have been conducted to study the effects of such adhesives. This study describes a simple in vitro method for measurement of their retentive effect and its relation to loss of adhesive. The results show that there is a reduction in the effectiveness of adhesives, and that there is also an increase in adhesive loss, with time. There appears to be a correlation between these two properties.

“…Denture adhesives may be used by pa tients for many years, and after each appli cation to a denture, substantial amounts may still be present 6 h later [Swartz et al, 1967], Because dental tissues can be ex posed to denture adhesives for such po tentially long periods of time, their cumu lative effects may cause significant changes. It was decided to investigate histologically the nature and extent of any such changes by exposing human enamel in vitro, for varying periods to time, of a karaya gum solution.…”

Demineralization of Human Dental Enamel by Karaya Gum Solutions

Karaya gum is a common denture adhesive and in use forms buffered aqueous solutions of pH 4.7. In this study teeth were immersed in solutions of karaya gum for periods of time of up to 3 months. Subsequent examination of undecalcified sections by reflected, transmitted and polarized light microscopy showed evidence of enamel demineralization. The degree of mineral loss is probably greater under the experimental conditions than would occur in clinical practice, but its presence suggests that patients should be cautioned with regard to the use of these materials.
