Sprache: EnglischKarlsson, Stig / Swartzt, BarbroThe cineradiographic technique was used to assess the retention of complete mandibular dentures during chewing. The study comprised ten complete-denture wearers with severe alveolar ridge resorption in the mandible. Two cineradiographic recordings were performed. with and without a denture adhesive spread onto the base of the mandibular denture. The analysis of the cineradiographic films disclosed a significant decrease in denture dislodgment, expressed as maximal value, when a denture adhesive was used. The mean dislodgment also decreased, but not significantly.
