Denture adhesives are used by more than five million denture wearers in the United States. All dentists strive to achieve stable, retentive, and comfortable dentures that do not require the use of denture adhesives. However, dentists may prescribe and use denture adhesives as a legitimate therapeutic and effective procedure in denture treatment and in denture aftercare, when indicated. Denture patients should use denture adhesive on the advice of their dentists and should be instructed in its proper use and cautioned against misuse.
