“…This could be achieved by adjusting the composition of denture adhesives without using zinc-containing ingredients. Proper education of dentists and patients is also very important, and neither dentists nor patients should use denture adhesives as a substitute for good clinical practice or a proper denture maintenance routine 30) . The composition of denture adhesives has a significant effect on the initial viscosity and adhesive strength, both of which are related to the clinical manipulation properties and effective acting time.…”

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 recent Delphi technique survey by an American dental schools expert panel achieved consensus that denture adhesives are useful adjuncts. The panelists clearly expressed their concern that neither dentists nor patients should use denture adhesives as a substitute for either good clinical practice or proper denture maintenance routine [28].…”

An international multicenter study on the effectiveness of a denture adhesive in maxillary dentures using disposable gnathometers

No consensus has been achieved on whether denture adhesives are beneficial adjuncts in denture-wearers management. The purpose of this international multicenter study was to determine objectively the effect of a denture adhesive (Kukident) on the retention of complete maxillary dentures using disposable gnathometers. The disposable gnathometers have a decimal scale for measuring the incisal force before dislodgement (= maximum incisal force) of maxillary dentures. The intra-observer reliability, the interobserver reliability, and the linearity of the gnathometer units of the disposable gnathometers were examined in three pilot studies. Participants of the international multicentre main study were 88 patients who had been selected for complete maxillary denture treatment. The maximum incisal force of their previous and new denture without and with adhesive was measured using disposable gnathometers. The intra-and inter-observer reliability of the disposable gnathometers was very good, and there was a linear relation between the gnathometer units. The effect of the denture adhesive on the maximum incisal force of complete maxillary dentures was statistically significant in previous as well as new dentures, being more pronounced in previous than in new dentures.

“…Another study declared that out of the 20% of the adult population in US who wear dentures at least 22% used denture adhesives (11) , the use of denture adhesives is considered suitable, adjunctive and effective treatment modality in removable prosthodontics. (12,13) Denture adhesives have been marketed in different formulations such as powders ,pastes or creams for soluble adhesives and strips or cushions for insoluble adhesives. 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.…”

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.
