A randomized clinical study to assess the performance of a marketed denture adhesive in a model of food infiltration in healthy, edentulous adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

An optimized food infiltration methodology was utilized to assess the objective and subjective efficacy of a marketed denture adhesive regarding denture dislodgment and infiltration and perception of food particles under maxillary and mandibular dentures. A pilot study helped optimize methodologies before the efficacy study.

Materials and methods

Participants were healthy adults (n =48 for both studies) with fair- to well-fitting and well-made full maxillary and mandibular dentures. In the pilot, groups were a denture adhesive applied in a conventional dabbed-on pattern, a denture adhesive applied in continuous strips, or no adhesive. In the efficacy study, groups were the Test denture adhesive (continuous strips pattern application) or no adhesive, employed in a
