“…The viscosity of denture adhesives is associated with their manipulation, retention, and oral hygiene [25][26][27] . Because main component of the cream-type denture adhesive is water-soluble polymers, the material dissolves progressively during clinical use 12,13) . Therefore, these type materials are easy to wash.…”

“…The active ingredients which confer the adhesive properties include karaya gum, tragacanth, acacia, pectin, gelatin, methyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and synthetic polymers (polyethylene oxide, acrylamides, acetic polyvinyl) 12,13) . The non-active ingredients, such as petrolatum, mineral oil, and polyethylene oxide, act as binding materials to facilitate placement 12,13) .

To investigate the effect of composition on the initial viscosity and adhesive strength between denture adhesives and the denture base. Two types of water-soluble polymers (methoxy ethylene maleic anhydride copolymer [PVM-MA] and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose [CMC]) were used. Samples were divided into three groups. Group 1 contained only PVM-MA; Group 2 contained only CMC; and Group 3 contained PVM-MA and CMC. The initial viscosity and adhesive strength were measured. For Group 1, the initial viscosity increased significantly as PVM-MA content increased. The adhesive strength of Group 1 lasted longer than Group 2. The adhesive strength of Group 3 varied greatly. The ratio of CMC and PVM-MA has a significant effect on the initial viscosity and adhesive strength of denture adhesives. Our results suggest that it is possible to improve the durability of a denture adhesive by combining different water-soluble polymers.

A new gel-type denture adhesive was evaluated for denture retention and ease of removal from oral mucosa. It was suggested that the new denture adhesive increased denture retention and was removed from oral mucosa easily. AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a new gel-type denture adhesive on denture retention and ease of removal from the oral mucosa after use. Methods:Eleven complete denture wearing patients (3 males and 8 females; age range, 58-84 years; mean age, 73.7 years) with compromised maxillary denturebearing tissues were included in the study. Denture retention and ease of removal were evaluated for a new gel-type denture adhesive. The results were compared with those obtained with and without a cream-type denture adhesive. Retention was evaluated by measuring unilateral bite force until these dentures were dislodged on the balancing side. Ease of removal was evaluated by scoring the remaining area of colored denture adhesives on the oral mucosa. Denture retention and ease of removal were also subjectively evaluated using questionnaires.Results: A significant improvement in objective denture retention was observed when either the creamtype or gel-type denture adhesive was used (p < 0.05). A significant difference in objective ease of removal was observed between cream-type and gel-type denture adhesive when subjects had rinsed their mouth once (p < 0.05). Subjective assessment showed no significant differences in either retention or ease of removal between gel-type and cream-type denture adhesives (p = 0.26, 0.24). Conclusions:Objectively, denture retention was higher with the cream-type than with the gel-type denture adhesive. Removal of the gel-type denture adhesive from the oral mucosa was easier than that of the creamtype. Subjectively, there were no differences in either retention or ease of removal.

“…Adhesive ingredients that improve denture support can include a blend of polymer salts, calcium salts and zinc for soluble adhesives and laminated fabric for insoluble adhesives some manufacturers are introducing zinc-free adhesives. In addition to the active ingredients in denture adhesives, a number of non-active components may also be included -such as flavouring additives, colourings, preservatives and antimicrobial agents (7,14,15) .…”

Background: Different types of denture adhesives like powder or paste have been used to enhance the retention and stability in denture wearers, especially in patients with resorbed ridges , these adhesives should be free from microbial contamination in order to use safely inside patient mouth and avoid infection , the purpose of this study is to investigate the bacterial contamination of different adhesives pastes and powders and the effect of autoclaving in reducing the bacterial growth . Materials and Methods:Six types of commonly available denture adhesives (three powders and three pastes) were tested for bacterial contamination by using culture on suitable media that contained either brain-heart infusion (BHI) ,blood agar, nutrient agar,MSA agar and others were inoculated with 0.5 gm samples of each adhesive. plates were incubated at 37C˚ for 24 hours in pre and post sterilization by using the colony forming unit for estimation the bacterial growth. Results : The results revealed that , In pre sterilization test all adhesive types (powders and pastes ) contained Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria ,the results also revealed that Dentofix (paste type 1) has the lowest bacterial growth in which 40% without bacterial growth , also the results reported that 25% of adhesives were contaminated by Staphylococcus species and 23 % of adhesives were contaminated by Neisseria species .Dentofix paste was highly significant difference regarding the mean of bacterial count at both dilutions 1/10 and 1/100 among other adhesives with the lowest contamination in comparison to other types of denture adhesives in presterilization step.while after using sterilization by autoclave generally sterilization induce high significant difference in each type of denture adhesive after exposure to autoclave for 15 min at 121 °C 15 pound/inch it decreases the number of bacterial growth in all types. The results showed that powders adhesives had high contamination rate than pastes and their killing rate after sterilization was lower than pastes. Fittydent (paste type 3) was highly affected by sterilization than other adhesives in first dilution 1/10 when killing rate was 78.9% . all types of tested adhesives showing that in second dilution 1/100 sterilization more effective at this dilution and sterilization induce 100% killing in Dentofix ( paste type 1) , Bonyplus ( paste type 2) and Fittydent (paste type 3) . Conclusions: The result of this study concluded that the powders denture adhesive have high bacterial contamination rate than the pastes and using of sterilization by autoclave must be done to increase killing rate.
