Objective:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of the new developed form of Comfort denture adhesive (Comfort DA).
Methods:
10 edentulous patients with complete dentures were selected for this study. The maximum biting force and masticatory efficiency were recorded before and after application of the adhesive to all the new and old dentures. Subjective test was also used to evaluate this adhesive in enhancing retention and stability of complete denture using the questionnaire way.
Results:
The data indicated that significantly greater biting forces were generated with old dentures than with the new dentures. The major findings were that the adhesive produced a statistically significant improvement in the masticatory efficiency after application. Subjective views of the patients indicated that this tested product significantly improved denture retention, stability and had other favorable features. The time of adhesion was about 6 8 hours.
Conclusion:
The generally favorable clinical performance of the developed Comfort DA formulation indicated that it might be an efficacious denture adhesive.
