title: Denture adhesives: changing attitudes.
abstract: Since people began using denture adhesives more than 200 years ago, dentists have been slow to acknowledge their place in prosthetic dentistry. The author maintains that if properly used, denture adhesives can be an asset to the dentist's armamentarium. This article reviews much of the recent research on adhesives and outlines the conditions under which they should be used.
