Correlation between rheological behavior and adhesion properties of denture adhesives

摘要

This study suggests that the presence of cationic sources in the hydrogel formulation improves the adhesive properties and changes their rheological behaviour. Although adhesion strength in the tensile testing is independent of cation types and concentration, the shear strength is affected. In addition, rheological measurements can be an efficient way to determine optimal properties for adhesion and sensory characteristics of denture adhesives despite having variable physiochemical parameters.
