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

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.

Eating Advice for People Who Wear Dentures: A Scoping Review.

Objective: A scoping review of available advice to address eating problems experienced by people who wear dentures was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. The objective was to identify and map type, volume, and content of the available eating advice.

Methods: Medline, CINAHL, and grey literature databases and Google were searched.

Numerical study of the stress state on the oral mucosa and abutment tooth upon insertion of partial dentures in the mandible.

The introduction of a removable partial denture onto the dental arch significantly influences the mechanical stress characteristics of both the jawbone and oral mucosa. The aim of this study was to analyze the stress state caused by biting forces upon insertion of partial dentures into the assembly, and to understand the influence of the resulting contact pressure on its retention behavior. For this purpose, a numerical model of a removable partial denture is proposed based on 3D models developed using computer tomography data of the jawbone and the removable partial denture.

Nutritional Assessment of Denture Wearers Using Matched Electronic Dental-Health Record Data.

Purpose: To assess the nutritional profile of denture wearers through a retrospective cohort study using nutritional biomarkers from matched electronic dental and health record (EDR-EHR) data.

Materials And Methods: The case group (denture wearers) included matched EDR-EHR data of patients who received removable partial, complete, and implant-supported prosthodontic treatments between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2018, study time. The control (nondenture wearers) group did not have recorded denture treatments and included patient records within 1 year of the denture index date (first date of case patients' receiving complete or partial denture) of the matching cases.

Development of a United Kingdom-centric cost-effectiveness model for denture cleaning strategies.

Statement Of Problem: Denture stomatitis is a prevalent condition in denture wearers. Economic evaluations of health care can help stakeholders, including patients, make better decisions about treatments for a given condition. Economic models to assess the costs and benefits of different options for managing denture stomatitis are lacking.

Finite Element Evaluation of the Effect of Adhesive Creams on the Stress State of Dentures and Oral Mucosa.

The base fit between a removable partial denture (RPD) and the underlying soft tissue plays a significant role in its performance. The application of a denture adhesive is hypothesized to result in better retention of RPDs and, as a result, contribute to lower stress on the oral mucosa. The objectives of this study were to observe and compare the distribution of simulated bite forces applied to the RPD through the abutments and soft tissue for models with and without the use of a denture adhesive.

Understanding the impact of removable partial dentures on patients' lives and their attitudes to oral care.

Introduction Due to a rising prevalence of removable partial denture (RPD) use, there is an unmet need to explore the psychological impact on patient wellbeing.Aim To assess the psychological effects of consumers losing teeth and receiving partial dentures to better manage their needs.Design Four market research surveys, undertaken on behalf of GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, are described.

A randomised bite force study assessing two currently marketed denture adhesive products compared with no-adhesive control.

Unlike other oral care products, there are limited technologies in the denture adhesive category with the majority based on polymethyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride (PVM/MA) polymer. Carbomer-based denture adhesives are less well studied, and there are few clinical studies directly comparing performance of denture adhesives based on different technologies. This single-centre, randomised, three-treatment, three-period, examiner-blind, crossover study compared a carbomer-based denture adhesive (Test adhesive) with a PVM/MA-based adhesive (Reference adhesive) and no adhesive using incisal bite force measurements (area over baseline over 12 hr; AOB) in participants with a well-made and at least moderately well-fitting complete maxillary denture.

Randomized Clinical Study Comparing Three Experimental Denture Adhesives and Fixodent® versus No Adhesive.

Objectives: Denture adhesives can improve function, retention, stability, and bite force in well-fitting dentures. This single-center, randomized, five-arm, examiner-blind, crossover clinical study aimed to compare three experimental adhesives ("Adhesive 1," "Adhesive 2," "Adhesive 3") with slightly different formulations and a commercially marketed "Positive control" with a "No Adhesive" arm using incisal bite force measurements over 12 hours in subjects with a moderately well- to well-fitting maxillary denture.

Methods: Institutional review and informed consent were obtained and qualified subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment sequence.

A Randomized Proof-of-Principle Bite Force Study of Two Experimental Denture Adhesives and a Commercially Available Adhesive.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of two experimental denture adhesive gels (adhesives 1 and 2) compared to a commercially available denture adhesive cream (positive control) and no adhesive (negative control).

Materials And Methods: This was a single-center, randomized, four-treatment, examiner-blind, crossover study in participants with well-made and at least moderately well-fitting maxillary complete dentures. Incisal bite force until denture dislodgment was measured before application (baseline) and over the following 12 hours for each of the treatments.

A randomized controlled study to evaluate an experimental moisturizing mouthwash formulation in participants experiencing dry mouth symptoms.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of an experimental moisturizing mouthwash versus water only in participants experiencing dry mouth symptoms, including those with Sjögren syndrome (n = 28).

Study Design: Participants were randomized to the experimental mouthwash group (n = 53) or the water-only group (n = 47). For 8 days, the mouthwash group used 1 to 2 doses/day at home; both groups could sip water, as needed.

Dental health professional recommendation and consumer habits in denture cleansing.

Statement Of Problem: Regular cleaning of dentures is essential to the oral and general health of denture wearers. Only limited systematic data are available on the recommendations that dental health care professionals (DHCPs) make to patients for denture cleaning. Data on denture wearers' cleaning regimens are also lacking.
