Denture Self-Repair: Soft Tissue Response to Selected Commercial Adhesives.

Abstract

Frequently patients attempt to self-repair their prosthetic applicance with commercial adhesives not designed for intraoral use. Three such adhesives (a methyl-2-cyanoacrylate, an epoxy resin-resin amine and a butyl acetate cement) were evaluated. Only the methyl-2-cyanoacrylate compound induced a significantly different soft tissue response when compared to the control, epoxy resin-resin amine and butyl acetate groups. (Author)
