Hardness Cohesiveness and Adhesiveness of Oral Moisturizers and Denture Adhesives: Selection Criteria for Denture Wearers

摘要

The mechanical properties of seven denture adhesives and eight oral moisturizers, all of which are commercially available, were evaluated using a texture profile analysis. A new assessment chart is proposed for the selection criteria of denture adhesive and oral moisturizers using a radar chart with three axes: hardness, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness.
