使用义齿粘合剂的目的是主观上使义齿佩戴者受益,改善义齿的贴合性和舒适性,并提高他们的咀嚼能力和信心。本研究的目的是通过问卷调查的方式,了解全口义齿佩戴者对义齿粘合剂的态度和想法,以及他们为什么尝试使用义齿粘合剂,以及他们目前使用或不使用义齿粘合剂的原因。115例患者参加马尔马拉大学牙科学校的新义齿治疗进行了调查。在调查中,有62名女性(54%)和53名男性(46%)。这些患者中近一半(53%)为61-70岁年龄组,平均年龄为64岁。106例(92%)患者从未尝试过义齿粘合剂。大多数患者(73%)谁没有使用义齿粘合剂管理他们的假牙,但显着的数字101(87%)不知道义齿粘合剂的存在。9名(8%)患者尝试过义齿粘合剂,目前没有患者使用它们。那些停止使用假牙粘合剂的人主要抱怨它没有显着改善贴合性和咀嚼能力。这项调查的结果表明,伊斯坦布尔的患者对义齿粘合剂的了解还不够,因为从业者仍然普遍认为,义齿粘合剂的处方是牙医失败的标志。
The purpose of using denture adhesives is to subjectively benefit denture-wearers with improved fit and comfort of their dentures and to improve their chewing ability and confidence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the approach and thought of complete denture wearers to denture adhesives and to see why they had tried denture adhesive, and their reasons for its current use or non-use through a questionnaire. One hundred and fifteen patients attending the Marmara University, Dental School for new denture treatment were surveyed. In the survey, there were 62 females (54%) and 53 males (46%). Nearly half of these patients (53%) were in the 61-70-year age group with a mean age of 64 years. One hundred and six (92%) patients had never tried denture adhesive. Most patients (73%) who did not use denture adhesives managed their dentures well, but a significant number 101 (87%) did not know that denture adhesives existed. Nine (8%) had tried denture adhesives, and none of the patients were currently using them. Those who ceased using denture adhesive complained mainly that it did not improve the fit and chewing ability significantly. The outcome of this survey demonstrated that the knowledge of the patients is not enough on denture adhesives in Istanbul as it is still generally believed by the practitioners that the prescription of a denture adhesive is a sign of failure of the dentist.
