Objective:To evaluate whether the self-made denture adhesive Apac can improve ther etention of full dentures.Methods:20 patients who wore mandibular complete dentures were selected randomly.Their retentive forces with and without denture adhesives including Apac and Poligrip S were investigated by using the stainometer.Results:The statistical analysis revealed that self-made denture adhesive Apac resulted in remarkable difference in the retentive forces before and after use(P<0.05)
and there was no statistic difference as compared with Poligrip S(P>0.05).Conclusion:The self-made denture adhesive Apac is the same as Poligrip S in improving the retention of the full dentures.
