title: Denture adhesives: a review.
abstract: This review article explores the current status of denture adhesives. Their many uses are discussed with the philosophy of their use and their disadvantages and contra-indications. With an increase in the number of elderly edentulous patients, there is likely to be a greater demand for denture adhesives. Dentists will need to be more aware of the need to prescribe denture adhesives and manufacturers are encouraged to improve commercially available products.
