The Effect of Using Denture Adhesives on Patient Satisfaction With Complete Dentures; a Randomized Clinical Trial.
Objectives: To assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with 3 types of denture adhesives
Methods: Sixty four completely edentulous patients were randomly divided into 3 groups. Each group received a set of complete dentures. After 1 month of using the dentures, participants rated their overall satisfaction and their satisfaction regarding comfort, retention, stability, and efficiency of mastication and speech on a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). Participants also filled out the oral health impact profile for edentulous patients (OHIP-EDENT) questionnaire. Each group was then given 1 type of denture adhesive to use. Group C received Corega Ultra denture fixative cream (GlaxoSmithKline), Group O received Olivafix (Bonyf), Group S received Sea.Bond adhesive strips (Sea.Bond). Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon-signed rank test were used to analyze the differences in VAS scores and total OHIP before and after using the adhesive within each group, respectively. Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare the differences before and after using the adhesives between the 3 groups.
Results: Significantly higher VAS values were detected in all groups and significantly lower total OHIP values were detected in all groups after using the adhesives (P<.05), except for the ease of cleaning for Group O and Group S (P>.05). No significant differences were found in VAS and total OHIP between the 3 groups (P>.05), except for the ease of cleaning which was significantly different between Group C and Group S (p=0.005).
Conclusions: Using denture adhesives for completely edentulous patients resulted in higher patient satisfaction and improved quality of life. These improvements were not dependent on the type of adhesive, except for ease of cleaning as adhesive strips were easier to clean than paste type adhesives.
