In vitro comparison of the tensile bond strength of denture adhesives on denture bases

Abstract

All 4 adhesives had greater tensile bond strength than the control, and all 4 adhesives were strongest at the 5-minute interval. On all 3 types of denture bases, Effergrip produced significantly lower tensile bond strength, and Fixodent, Super Poligrip, and SeaBond produced significantly higher tensile bond strength. At 24 hours, the adhesive-base combinations with the highest tensile bond strength were Fixodent on Lucitone 199, Fixodent on Eclipse, Fixodent on Ivocap, and Super Poligrip on Ivocap.

Effects of herbal medicine components on the physical properties of trial denture adhesives

“…8 When patients use glue type denture adhesives (classified into cream-form, powder-form and sheet-form denture adhesives) under a dentist's supervision, these prove effective in improving denture stability and retention. [4][5][6][7] The primary components of cream-form denture adhesives are water-soluble polymers and white petrolatum. In the oral cavity, the water-soluble polymers absorb saliva, thereby increasing viscosity and adhesion strength.…”

“…3 Despite the range of disagreements regarding the clinical significance of denture adhesives, the fact remains that improvements in denture function, stability and maintenance have been observed following their application. [4][5][6][7] Denture adhesives are broadly divided into two types, liner (home reliners) and glue, based on their mechanism of action. 8 Liner type denture adhesives fill the gap between the denture and the oral mucosa, thereby improving adhesion.…”

Hydrophobic and hydrophilic effects on water structuring and adhesion in denture adhesives

“…3,16 This study focuses on the most commonly used "paste form". 20,21 In this work, a control formulation based on commercial non-zinc-containing denture adhesive compositions [22][23][24] was used as a benchmark. 17 Current commercial formulations are typically based on a combination of synthetic and naturally-based salts of polymers, such as poly(methylvinylether-maleic acid) (PMVE-MA) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC).…”

Tunable denture adhesives using biomimetic principles for enhanced tissue adhesion in moist environments

“…Commercial denture adhesives exist in a number of forms; powders, pastes, strips, cushions or pads [7,11]. This study focuses on the most commonly used paste form with a control formulation based on a commercial non-zinc-containing denture adhesive [8,12,13].…”

“…Saliva plays an important role in the fixative function; as the adhesive hydrates, it swells by some 50-150 % in volume. This reduces the levels of friction and irritation to the oral tissue [7,9,13,27]. However, even though the products rely on the surrounding aqueous conditions to activate their adhesive capability, their optimum performance will fall within a specific range of hydration.…”
