Retention isaffected by several factors which are physical, physiological, psychological, mechanical and surgical factors. The use ofdenture adhesives improved the retention and stability of complete denture. The use of denture adhesives is indicated inseveral cases , as in an immediate denture , flat ridge, patient with deficits in muscle control, xerostomic patient andpatient in need of psychological security the purpose of this study is to measure and compare the effectiveness ofdenture adhesives (cushion, powder and cream protefix denture adhesive)in a well fitting mandibular complete denturefor flat ridge at various time intervals and to its relation with surface area of denture bearing mucosa.Materials and methods: Ten edentulous patients with flat ridge, with age group (50-70) years were selected. Newcomplete dentures were constructed for them. A specially designed strain gauge force transducer and a strain indicatorunit were used to measure forces required to dislodge the denture from its foundation. Retention of mandibularcomplete denture without adhesive and with the use of each type denture adhesives at intervals of 15minutes, 1hourand 2hour were measured .The surface area of denture bearing mucosa was also measured.Results and conclusion: This study revealed that there is a significant improvement in the retention of mandibularcomplete denture for flat ridge after using three types' denture adhesives. Denture adhesives start their actionimmediately and decreased with time. Powder was the most effective denture adhesives than cushion and cream.Key words: Flat ridge, Denture adhesive, Strain gauge measuring device. J Bagh Coll Dentistry 2009; 21(2):5-9) | ||
