Denture Retention
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the hold properties of two experimental denture adhesives using established maximum incisal BF methodology.
Detailed description
This will be a single-centre, controlled, randomized, single-blind (with respect to the examiner performing the incisal BF measurements), 4-treatment, 4- period, cross-over study to evaluate the maximum maxillary BF in a population of full maxillary denture wearers. A currently marketed denture adhesive will be used as a positive control, whilst use of no adhesive will be employed as a negative control.
Interventions
A single application of 1 gram of Super Poligrip Free will be applied topically to oral tissues via the upper denture.
A single application of 1 gram of Experimental Denture Adhesive 1 will be applied topically to oral tissues via the upper denture.
A single application of 1 gram of Experimental Denture Adhesive 2 will be applied topically to oral tissues via the upper denture.

|---|---|---|
| Area Over Baseline Over 12 Hours (AOB 0-12) to Compare Maximum Incisal Bite Force | Baseline and up to 12 hours | Natural logged incisal Bite Force (BF) measurements were performed to analyze the denture dislodgement as measure of denture adhesive hold efficacy. All BF measurements were conducted by an examiner. AOB 0-12 was used to assess the incisal BF and defined as (Area under the Curve \[AUC\]0-12) divided by 12 minus baseline BF (pounds \[lbs\]). AUC was calculated from 0 to 12 hours using the trapezoid method; denoted as AUC 0-12. This transformation was carried out to return the measurement to the same scale as the original observation. AOB 0-12 was analyzed for each of the three treatments in comparison to no denture adhesive treatment group. Higher values of AOB 0-12 demonstrate a stronger bite force over time than lower values. Baseline was defined as BF (lbs) recorded at hour 0 (pre-treatment). |

Recruitment details
All participants were recruited at a single center in United States of America (USA).
Pre-assignment details
A total of 52 participants were screened, of which 45 were enrolled (7 screened participants failed to meet the required criteria for study participation). Forty-three participants were randomized to study treatment (2 enrolled participants were not randomized due to lost to follow-up prior to treatment assignment) and 41 participants completed the study.
