OBJECTIVE of this study was to determine whether 3-week use of gel-type denture adhesive (DA) can influence the subjective orofacial and extraoral-sicca symptoms (OSS). A second aim was to assess the possible changes of unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) flow rate, the palatal saliva-(PS) and labial saliva (LS) flow rates. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-...

OBJECTIVE: was to determine the effect of a commercially distributed denture adhesive onto subjective orofacial sicca symptoms (OSS), unstimulated whole saliva (UWS), palatal (PS) and labial (LS) saliva flow rate. METHODS: 15 complete denture wearing patients (6 male, 9 female; average age: 72,2711 years, took part in this follow-up study. Patients...
