Denture fixatives can aid denture retention and stability in specific cases. However, informed patient advice is crucial due to potential neuromuscular development issues from improper use.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Geriatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Denture fixatives are widely available over-the-counter.
  • Clinician opinions on denture fixatives vary, with some recognizing their utility and others emphasizing proper denture fit.
  • Concerns exist regarding the potential negative impact of inappropriate fixative use on neuromuscular development, crucial for denture stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated overview of denture fixative use.
  • To offer evidence-based advice and recommendations for clinicians regarding denture fixatives.
  • To address the dichotomy between the recognized benefits and potential risks of denture fixatives.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on denture fixatives.
  • Analysis of clinical opinions and patient-reported outcomes.

  • Synthesis of current evidence on efficacy and safety.

    • Main Results:

    • Denture fixatives can enhance retention and stability in select patient groups or situations.
    • Improper use may compromise neuromuscular adaptation and oral function.
    • The availability of fixatives necessitates informed clinical guidance.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinicians should provide informed advice on denture fixative use, balancing benefits against potential risks.
    • Proper denture construction remains paramount, but fixatives can serve a supplementary role.
    • Further research may clarify optimal use guidelines and long-term effects.
