Retention of denture adhesives—an in vitro study
Copyright policy )Retention of denture adhesives—an in vitro study
SummaryDenture adhesives are being used by patients to aid the retention and stability of their dentures. A number of laboratory and clinical investigations have been conducted to study the effects of such adhesives. This study describes a simple in vitro method for measurement of their retentive effect and its relation to loss of adhesive. The results show that there is a reduction in the effectiveness of adhesives, and that there is also an increase in adhesive loss, with time. There appears to be a correlation between these two properties.
