The influence of oral cavity physiological parameters: temperature, pH, and swelling on the performance of denture adhesives - in vitro study
ConclusionsOur
results suggest that the collective inter-play of the parameters pH,
temperature and swelling ratio have an influence on the behavior of the
denture adhesive. The results clearly highlight the need for developing a
multi-parameter viscoelastic material model to understand the
collective influence of physiological parameters on the performance of
denture adhesives. Multi-parameter models can also potentially be
utilized in numerically simulating denture adhesives using finite
element simulations.
