Abstract
An in vitro test method is described simulating the in vivo fate of a denture adhesive, i.e., destruction of the adhesive, dilution, and dissolution, by measuring the bond strength for the adhesive placed between acrylic resin plates. Between each measurement, the adhesive was exposed to isotonic saline. The bond strength for two ointment denture adhesives, Super Corega and Fixodent, was measured and the results were compared with those obtained for one of them in a previous in vivo test. The test method described for denture adhesives seems useful to depict the fate of a denture adhesive in clinical use.Entities:
