Abstract
Statement of problem
A consensus on whether the use of a complete-denture adhesive provides a clinical
benefit remains unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of this systematic review of randomized controlled trials was to evaluate
the use of adhesive in complete dentures in terms of retention and stability, patient-reported
outcomes measures, and masticatory performance.
Material and methods
A search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for articles
up to October 2020. The Cochrane collaboration tool was used to analyze the risk of
bias. The grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations (GRADE) tool
was used to assess the certainty of the evidence.
Results
Thirteen studies were included with a total of 516 participants with a mean age of
65.5 years. Most studies reported a significant improvement in the retention and stability,
patient-reported outcomes measures, and masticatory performance of complete dentures
with the use of denture adhesive compared with no-denture adhesive. Newly developed
denture adhesives were reported to have promising results. Most studies presented
a low risk of bias, but the certainty of the evidence was classified as low to moderate.
Conclusions
Participants had improved treatment outcomes when using denture adhesives because
they significantly improve the retention and stability, patient-reported outcomes
measures, and masticatory performance. However, further high-quality studies are needed
to confirm these results with newly developed denture adhesives.
