ABSTRACT
The objective of the study was to investigate the attitude of complete denture wearers and dentists towards denture adhesive. The use of denture adhesives and their role in prosthodontics deserve special emphasis because it benefits both the dental profession and patients. A total of 110 patients and 96 dentists participated in the study, which was conducted in three months and was carried out in two institutes, Lahore Medical and Dental College and Jinnah Medical and Dental College, Karachi. The awareness and attitude among dentists and denture wearers towards denture adhesive was checked through a questionnaire. Of 110 patients, 94% never used denture adhesives. Of 96 dentists, 56%have never prescribed denture adhesives. 44% had no knowledge regarding denture adhesives. The results suggest that complete denture wearers lack awareness regarding use of denture adhesives. Majority of dentists are also unfamiliar with their beneficial effects
