    Summary

    The viscosity of saliva significantly impacts denture retention by influencing separating forces, while surface tension plays a minor role. This study models denture retention using disks and various liquids.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Dental Mechanics
    • Fluid Dynamics

    Background:

    • Denture retention is crucial for oral function and patient comfort.
    • Understanding the physical properties of saliva is key to improving denture stability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the physical factors of saliva affecting denture retention.
    • To model denture retention using a parallel disk system and various liquids.
    • To investigate the influence of viscosity and surface tension on retentive forces.

    Main Methods:

    • A parallel disk model was employed, simulating dentures and oral mucosa with metal, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and polyisobutylene (PIB).
    • Glycerol, olive oil, and castor oil represented saliva, with liquid layer thickness controlled at 50 μm.
    • A strain gauge was utilized to accurately measure retentive forces under different disk conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Retentive force can be separated into static adhesive and separating forces.
    • The surface tension of the simulated saliva had a limited effect on denture retention.
    • Liquid viscosity was identified as a critical factor influencing retention, particularly during disk separation.

    Conclusions:

    • Denture retention is primarily governed by adhesive and separating forces.
    • Saliva viscosity is more influential than surface tension in maintaining denture stability.
    • This research provides insights into optimizing denture design and materials for enhanced retention.
