Denture adhesives: their effects on denture retention and stability

Journal of Dentistry, 1985
Abstract Denture adhesives have been used by denture wearers for many years. A number of studies have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of these adhesives. This article describes a technique whereby the effectiveness of the adhesives was determined with the dentures in function through the use of the kinesiograph. The results indicated that

Improving the retention of complete dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1975
1 he adhesive action of a thin film of saliva between the oral mucosa and the inner (basal) surface of a complete denture is recognized as one of the principle sources of denture retention. The retaining force due to capillarity (capillary attraction) is directly proportional to the surface tension of the fluid film, the area of solid surfaces, and the

Salivary secretion and denture retention

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1992
Correlations between the retention of complete dentures and flow rates of the palatal and parotid glands were studied in 86 patients. The determination of secretion rates and forces of the forward leverage leading to a dislocation of the dentures showed a narrow correlation between the secretion of palatal glands and the retention of maxillary dentures.

On complete denture retention

Australian Dental Journal, 1983
Abstract— Denture retention by atmospheric pressure is discussed. A potential space which is enclosed by a salivary meniscus exists between a denture base and the oral mucosa. When the denture is dislodged, this space is forced to expand and the meniscus recedes, but the recession is impeded by the viscosity of the saliva and a negative pressure is ...

The Effect of Dentures and Denture Adhesives on Mouth Alcohol Retention

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1992
Abstract A total of 24 alcohol-free, denture-wearing subjects were tested for mouth-alcohol retention times with an Intoxilyzer™ 5000. The subjects were given 30 mL doses of 80 proof brandy to swish in their mouths without swallowing for 2 min prior to expectorating the dose.

More Retentive Complete Dentures

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1970
Denture stability is best achieved when the denture base approximates the underlying tissue as closely as possible, when the border seal is as complete as possible, and when the thinnest possible fluid film is provided between denture base and mucosa.
