title: Denture adhesives.
abstract: An attempt has been made to present an overview of this controversial topic of over-the-counter denture adherents. The proper use of a denture adhesive can truly provide both dentist and patient with a means of securing a prosthesis despite the practitioner's best efforts. It is through a thorough knowledge of the attributes and limitations of these products that the dental profession can better guide patients in the management of their prosthesis.
