[Clinical evaluation of denture adhesive combined with oral wetting spray on satisfaction of complete denture in xerostomia patients].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of denture adhesive and oral wetting spray on the satisfaction of wearing complete denture in xerostomia patients.


METHODS

The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS17.0 software package.


RESULTS
Six months after the use of denture adhesive combined with oral wetting spray, the satisfaction of complete denture was significantly improved in respects of general satisfaction, retention of mandible denture, comfort and mastication improvement than that before application (P<0.05). But 1 week after the use of denture adhesive alone, the satisfaction of comfort reduced than that before application (P<0.05).
