R. Vasileva

Abstract

Denture adhesive is a product known since the early 20th century and it is still widely used to improve retention and stabilization for removable dentures. Prosthetic adhesives are suitable for use when is available atrophy of the alveolar ridge, the presence of decubitus injuries and inconsistencies in the relief of the alveolar ridge. Prosthetic adhesives are known in three main forms, cream, powder and plates/pads. Different forms have advantages and disadvantages in a varied clinical situation. The urgency of the problem is expressed in the scarce information about consumables in the literature and textbooks of dentists. Information on the choice of one or another form dental adhesives for dentists and their patients would guide them in the correct choice of adhesive product when they needed.
The purpose of this article is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of using the two main forms denture adhesive: cream/gel type and plate/pad type, to facilitate the dentist choice and their patients.
Materials and methods: For the purpose of the research the date bases of PubMed, Scopus, Medline are considered, covering the search period is in 1960–2020 y.
Results and conclusion: The main reason for using adhesives is to improve the retention of dentures. The period of use of denture adhesives varies in a wide range from 1 to 30 years. This requires the study and awareness dentist about the relevant products, which are widely used to this day.
