More Information
Summary:This in vitro investigation of the retentive ability of various commercially available denture adhesives was performed by measuring the adhesion and cohesion that developed between a glass surface and an acrylic resin disk surface when some liquids, adhesive materials, or both were placed between them. Student's paired t-test, repeated measures, and two-factor design analysis of variance were performed to determine the significance among mean values. The adhesive materials studied exhibited a significantly greater retentive ability than that of saliva, and their retentive ability increased significantly when they were used in combination with artificial saliva. Highly significant differences of the retentive ability among the different brands of denture adhesives were observed.
