Abstract
Adhesives for removable dentures are specialized alternative products designed to enhance the retention of dentures. They help prevent dentures from shifting, ensuring comfortable and secure wear. Adhesives come in various forms, such as creams, powders, pads, strips, and gels. Creams and gels are applied to the inner surface of the denture, creating a strong bond with the gums, while powders provide a thin layer of fixation. Pads and strips can be conveniently attached to the denture, distributing the fixation evenly. Choosing the right adhesive is important for ensuring comfort and preventing possible allergic reactions. Regular cleaning of dentures and proper use of adhesives contribute to oral health and the longevity of the dentures. This literature review presents contemporary aspects and developments in materials aimed at improving the quality of retention for removable dentures.
