Abstract

Objectives

The purpose of this systematic review with network meta-analysis was to assess the comparative efficacy of various types of denture adhesives in complete denture patients.

Material and methods

A search was conducted for trials published in Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception until July 2023 (PROSPERO: CRD42023451045). A network meta-analysis was performed to assess the comparative efficacy of different denture adhesive types and ranked using the Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking (SUCRA) system. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach was used to assess the level of certainty of evidence.

Results

Seventeen articles were included in the quantitative analysis. Cream denture adhesives significantly increased bite force in both incisal region (RR = 7.63[95%CI: 3.34, 11.91]) (P < .05) as well as premolar and molar regions (RR = 33.66[95%CI: 15.15, 52.16]). Cream adhesives significantly improved retention of dentures as assessed by the reduced number of denture dislodgments (RR = -5.35[95%CI: -9.93, -0.77]) (P = 0.022), Kapur’s index of retention (maxillary denture) (RR = 0.80[95%CI: 0.18, 1.42]) (P = 0.012) and Kapur’s index of retention (mandibular denture) (RR = 1.27[95%CI: 0.67, 1.87]) (P < .05). Powder adhesives significantly increased premolar and molar bite force (RR = 36.00[95%CI: 16.20, 55.79]) (P < .05) and Kapur’s index of retention (mandibular denture) (RR = 1.54[95%CI: 0.58, 2.49]) (P = 0.002). None of the adhesives were statistically significant for remaining outcomes.

Conclusions

Cream and powder denture adhesives are effective in enhancing the retention of mandibular dentures (Kapur’s index) and bite force in the premolar/molar region in complete denture wearers (moderate level of certainty of evidence).

Clinical relevance

Cream and powder denture adhesives are effective in improving the retention and function of complete dentures.
