Influence of composition on the adhesive strength and initial viscosity of denture adhesives

et al. 2014

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.

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.

The purpose of this study was to compare cross-national differences of the recognition of denture adhesive among dentists. The design of the research was cross-cultural differences. The research was done in Japan and Indonesia. One hundred and ten dentists from Japan and Indonesia were surveyed using a questionnaire regarding knowledge/comprehension of denture adhesive (in Japanese and Indonesian versions respectively). Logistic regression model (forward stepwise method) showed that it was possible to distinguish Japanese dentists from Indonesian peers with a probability of 96.0 per cent by using 4 items out of 16. For the question of "How many domestic products of denture adhesive (DA) do you know?" approximately a half of the Japanese dentists answered "less than 3", whereas 93 per cent of Indonesian subjects answered "nothing". It was concluded that there were much differences in dentists' understanding and experience of denture adhesive in the clinic, between Japan and Indonesia.
