Open labeled, single arm trial of denture shield for the treatment of dentures.
A new denture product, Denture Shield is described. This product was designed to aid denture wearers. It results in sealing the external surfaces of denture which provides comfort, cleansability and reduces odour while the denture is under function in the mouth. A trial was conducted in which 133 persons were recruited for a four week study. Each participant was well-informed about the product benefits. A total of 71 participants completed the study. The majority of the responses were positive (62 positive responds, representing 87.3% positive). Positive responses included: improved cleansability, food not sticking to the denture, reduced odour, better fitting dentures and more denture comfort. This product is intended as an additional treatment to current denture regimen and seems to provide improved characteristics for denture wearers.
