Satisfaction in complete denture wearers with and without adhesives: A randomized, crossover, double-blind clinical trial
2018
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the satisfaction of patients regarding retention, stability and
accumulation of particles with a randomized, double-blind crossed method in users with complete dentures with
and without adhesive.
Material and Methods: Seventeen edentulous individuals were randomized and received new upper and lower complete dentures. After a period of adaptation, they participated in some masticatory tests and clinical revisions, after
use the protheses with and without the use of two denture adhesives: Adhesive A (Fittydent, Fittydent International
GmbH) and adhesive B (Corega, GlaxoSmithKline) at 0, 7 and 14 days. Satisfaction was measured immediately
after each test through a survey using a VAS scale (0-10) and data were analyzed with McNemar’s test with Bonferroni correction.
Results: The results showed significant differences (
p
<.01) between the study groups with adhesive A - B and the
group without adhesive, but no significant differences were found between the two stickers for any of the variables
studied.
Conclusions: Complete denture adhesives significantly improved the satisfaction of patients because a better retention, stability and less accumulation of particles of the food substitute between the denture and the mucosa is
obtained compared with non-use of complete denture adhesives.
