“…6,7 It has been shown that the use of denture adhesives significantly increase retention and stability of dentures and biting force, providing patients with a greater feeling of satis-faction. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Furthermore, denture adhesives are effective in providing psychological comfort to patients. Kapur 8 reported that the use of denture adhesives did not significantly improve masticatory performance with the sieving method using peanuts.…”

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.

“…With a system of multi-channel alternating magnetic field magnetometer tracking, it was demonstrated that a denture adhesive significantly reduced movement of complete maxillary dentures and complete mandibular implant-retained overdentures during mastication [13]. Masticatory performance was improved with a denture adhesive [8,20,26]. As assessed with a simple gnathometer, a denture adhesive significantly improved the (protrusive) incisal force needed to dislodge a maxillary complete denture [25].…”

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.

“…The masticatory performance (MP) is an objective indicator of the oro‐facial functional capabilities and defined as the ‘measure of the comminution of food attainable under standardised testing conditions’. It has been used to assess the impact of prosthetic and orthodontic treatment , neuro‐muscular disorders in the elderly , levels of disability after a stroke , among others. The MP is commonly assessed by fragmentation analysis methods, which measure the volume–weight distribution of the remaining particles of a brittle piece of test food (peanuts, carrots, Optocal or OptosilTM blocks) .…”

Objective masticatory performance assessment using two-coloured specimens relies on image processing techniques; however, just a few approaches have been tested and no comparative studies are reported. The aim of this study was to present a selection procedure of the optimal image analysis method for masticatory performance assessment with a given two-coloured chewing gum. Dentate participants (n = 250; 25 ± 6·3 years) chewed red-white chewing gums for 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 25 cycles (2000 samples). Digitalised images of retrieved specimens were analysed using 122 image processing methods (IPMs) based on feature extraction algorithms (pixel values and histogram analysis). All IPMs were tested following the criteria of: normality of measurements (Kolmogorov-Smirnov), ability to detect differences among mixing states (anova corrected with post hoc Bonferroni) and moderate-to-high correlation with the number of cycles (Spearman's Rho). The optimal IPM was chosen using multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA). Measurements provided by all IPMs proved to be normally distributed (P < 0·05), 116 proved sensible to mixing states (P < 0·05), and 35 showed moderate-to-high correlation with the number of cycles (|ρ| > 0·5; P < 0·05). The variance of the histogram of the Hue showed the highest correlation with the number of cycles (ρ = 0·792; P < 0·0001) and the highest MCDA score (optimal). The proposed procedure proved to be reliable and able to select the optimal approach among multiple IPMs. This experiment may be reproduced to identify the optimal approach for each case of locally available test foods.
