“…Denture adhesives are commercially available soluble materials that are applied onto the tissue surface of a denture for better retention and functioning 26 . A recent systematic review concluded that denture adhesives improve retention and stability of complete dentures, masticatory efficiency and patient comfort 27 . Only a quarter of the videos reviewed in our study mentioned the use of denture adhesives.…”

IntroductionThe world's population is in a demographic transition with a rising ageing population. Tooth loss is frequent among older people resulting in the replacement of natural teeth using complete or partial dentures. YouTube™ is the second most popular website in the world and is being increasingly used to access health care information. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness and reliability of the information in YouTube™ videos regarding denture care.MethodsThe YouTube™ website was used to systematically search for videos using the keyword ‘denture care’. Videos meeting the eligibility criteria were assessed separately by two independent researchers. The usefulness of the videos was assessed using the Global Quality Assessment Scale and a customized usefulness scoring scheme. Based on these scores, the usefulness of the videos was categorized as low, medium and high. A modified DISCERN tool (mDISCERN) was used for assessing reliability with scores ranging from 0 to 5. Other video characteristics like source/ownership of the videos, duration, views, likes, dislikes, number of days posted, like ratio, view ratio, interaction index and Video Power Index were also obtained. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Kruskal‐Wallis test, Spearman correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis.ResultsA total of 120 videos were included. Based on the usefulness score, the usefulness of 65.8% of videos were classified as low, 32.5% were medium and 1.6% had high usefulness. The mDISCERN score for 74.2% of videos was 2 or below 2 indicating that the majority of videos had low reliability. Video characteristics did not differ significantly according to the usefulness of videos. Videos uploaded by dentists or dental hygienists had significantly higher usefulness scores (p < 0.001) in comparison to videos uploaded by other sources. However, reliability scores did not differ based on the sources of the videos. Video reliability was found to have a significant (B = 2.08, p < 0.001) positive association with video usefulness.ConclusionYouTube™ cannot be recommended as the only source of information for denture care as most videos received low usefulness and reliability ratings in our study. Dentists and dental health professionals could take an active part in enhancing denture care‐related content on YouTube™ and enable patients to have adequate and reliable knowledge of denture hygiene practices.

“…Therefore, the use of denture adhesive by a patient is viewed as a negative annotation on the dentist's professional competence. In contrast to this unfavourable view regarding the usage of adhesives, data currently suggests that these products might be advantageous for denture maintenance 5 .…”

Purpose: Evaluate the effect of denture adhesive versus single implant on complete denture retention and patient satisfaction.Materials and Methods: Fourteen completely edentulous male patients participated in a crossover study. Acrylic complete denture was constructed for each patient and after 30 days of the adaptation period, retention of lower denture was measured without using denture adhesive. Patients were instructed to use Protefix paste denture adhesive for 6 months. After 3 months of denture insertion with the use of denture adhesive, for each patient a single implant (3.5*13mm Anyone Two-piece dental implant, Mega Gen Implant System, Korea) was placed at the anterior midline region to retain mandibular denture and patients were permitted to continue using their complete dentures using denture adhesive for an additional three months to ensure implant osseointegration. After 3months of implant osseointegration, patients were recalled and abutments were attached to implant fixtures and attachments were then placed. Patients were then informed to avoid the use of denture adhesive. Retention of the mandibular denture and patient satisfaction were evaluated before using denture adhesives and at 1, 3, and 6 months after using denture adhesive and at 1, 3, and 6 months after implant placement without using denture adhesive. Data were statistically analysed by t student test.Results: Retention of mandibular denture and patient satisfaction were increased in both groups with no significance difference between them. Conclusions:Within the limitations of study, denture adhesive and a single implant can increase mandibular denture retention and patient satisfaction in completely edentulous patients.
