PURPOSE: To evaluate the tensile bond strength (TBS) of three cream denture adhesives and one wafer denture adhesive on three denture base materials at five time intervals up to 24 hours. METHODS: Fixodent (Proctor & Gamble™), Super Poligrip (GlaxoSmithKline™), Effergrip (Prestige Brands, Inc.™), and SeaBond (Combe™) were tested with the Instron testing machine on three denture base resin cylinder models fabricated from two heat‐polymerized (Lucitone 199 and SR Ivocap) and one visible lightcured, shade stable (Eclipse) acrylic resins. Laboratory prepared artificial saliva with mucin was used for the control study. In accordance with ADA specifications, the TBS was tested at …
