Denture Retention
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the hold properties of an investigational denture adhesive using an established methodology called the maximum incisal bite force (BF), and Kapur-Olshan (KO) index for denture retention and stability. The effects of hot drinks and two questionnaires relating to participants' perception will also be assessed for the investigational denture adhesive.
Detailed description
This study will be a single-centre, controlled, randomized, single blind, 4-treatment, 4-period, cross-over study to evaluate maximum maxillary bite force in a population of full maxillary denture wearers. This study consists of 5 visits (1 screening visit and 4 treatment periods including minimum washout period of 2 days between treatment visits). Participant's maxillary and mandibular dentures will be assessed for retention and stability using KO index and whether they are well made. Participants will be randomized to one of the 4 treatment groups i.e. No adhesive, Super Poligrip Free (SPF), Investigational Adhesive and Investigational Adhesive + Hot drink arm group and will undergo an oral soft tissue (OST) and Oral Hard Tissue (OHT) examination. Participants who will meet all the inclusion and no exclusion criteria will continue the study. Participants will complete the BF measurement, KO assessment, OST, OHT examination and participants 'perception questionnaire as per the schedule.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area Over Baseline Over 12 Hours (AOB 0-12) to Compare Maximum Incisal Bite Force (BF) | Up to 12 hours | Incisal bite force measurements will be performed to analyse the denture dislodgement as measure of denture adhesive hold efficacy. All BF measurements will be conducted by an examiner. AOB0-12 will be used to assess the incisal bf and is defined as (AUC0-12)/12 minus baseline BF(pounds \[lbs\]). Area under the Curve (AUC) is calculated from 0 to 12 hours (hr) using the trapezoid method; denoted as AUC0-12. This transformation will return the measurement to the same scale as the original observations. Area over baseline in BF as measured by AOB0-12 will be analyzed for each of the three interventional products, compared to no adhesive. Higher values of AOB0-12 demonstrate a stronger bite force overtime than lower values. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Retention | Baseline, at 3 hours | KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures. Retention will be measured on score of 0-5 to assess nature of resistance offered by denture to vertical force at the canine/lateral incisor region of the denture: 0= No retention- when the denture was seated in place, it displaced itself; 1= Poor- denture offers slight resistance to vertical pull and little or no resistance to lateral force; 2= Fair- denture offered moderate resistance to vertical pull and little or no resistance to lateral forces; 3= Good- denture offered moderate resistance to vertical pull and lateral force; 4= Very Good- denture offered very good resistance to vertical pull and lateral force; 5=Excellent - denture offered excellent resistance to vertical pull and lateral force. Higher the score, higher the retention ability of denture. |
| Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Stability | Baseline, at 3 hours | KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures. Stability will be measured on score of 0-4: 0= No stability- when denture base had extreme rocking under pressure; 1= Poor- when denture base had moderate rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 2= Fair- when denture base had slight rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 3= Good- when denture base had very slight rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 4= Excellent- when denture base offered no rocking on its supporting structures under pressure. Higher the score, higher the denture stability. |
| Composite Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Retention and Stability | Baseline, at 3 hours | KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures. Retention will be measured on score of 0-5 to assess nature of resistance offered by denture to vertical force at the canine/lateral incisor region of the denture: 0=No retention; 1= Poor; 2=Fair; 3=Good; 4=Very Good;5=Excellent. Stability will be measured as score of 0-4 to assess nature of rocking offered by maxillary denture by placing alternate horizontal force at the cuspid and contralateral molar regions of the upper denture: 0=No stability; 1=Poor; 2=Fair; 3=Good; 4=Excellent. Composite KO Index scores will be measured as the sum score of retention & stability of dentures such that a sum score of zero (0) represents no retention and stability and a sum score of 9 represents excellent retention and stability. |
| Area Over Baseline (AOB) at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 Hours to Compare Maximum Incisal Bite Force Following the Consumption of a Hot Drink | Baseline, at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours | Incisal bite force measurements will be performed to analyse the denture dislodgement as measure of denture adhesive hold efficacy. All BF measurements will be conducted by an examiner. This transformation will return the measurement to the same scale as the original observations. AOB for 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours will be analyzed using the trapezoid method. Change from baseline in BF as measured by AOB will be analyzed for each of the three active products, compared to no adhesive. Assessment of maximum incisal bite force of an investigational denture adhesive following the consumption of a hot drink to no adhesive was done. Higher values of AOB demonstrate a stronger bite force overtime than lower values. |
| Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Retention Following the Consumption of a Hot Drink | Baseline, at 3 hours | KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures following the consumption of a hot drink versus no adhesive.

AOB for 0.5, 1, 3, 6 and 9 hours will be analyzed using the trapezoid method. Area over baseline in BF as measured by AOB will be analyzed for each of the three active products, compared to no adhesive. Higher values of AOB demonstrate a stronger bite force overtime than lower values. |

Stability will be measured as score of 0-4 to assess nature of rocking offered by maxillary denture by placing alternate horizontal force at the cuspid and contralateral molar regions of the upper denture: 0=No stability; 1=Poor; 2=Fair; 3=Good; 4=Excellent. Composite KO Index scores will be measured as the sum score of retention & stability of dentures such that a sum score of zero represents no retention and stability and a sum score of 9 represents excellent retention and stability. |
| Number of Participants who Feel Their Denture is More Stable and Secure After Using Adhesive | Baseline, 9 hr after the BF measurement | Denture stability and retention questionnaire will be completed by participants post dinner and hot drink after 9hr BF measurement for investigational adhesive + hot drink treatment arm only.
