A Web-Based Survey Of Denture Adhesive Use Among Denture Wearers 40 Years Of Age And Older
JOURNAL OF ORAL SCIENCE(2021)
摘要
The purpose of this study was to clarify the usage and understanding of denture adhesives among 1,825 denture wearers, aged 40 years and older in Japan, using a web-based survey. The NTTCom Online survey (a closed investigation) was conducted over a period of 4 days using a 13-item questionnaire about denture adhesives. Results showed that 67.1% of the respondents were satisfied with their dentures; 81.5% of respondents knew about denture adhesive, but only 347 (19.0%) had used the product. Products used by the 347 denture wearers included cream type (79.7%), cushion type (16.2%), and powder type (3.2%). The most common reason for the selection of a particular type was "Saw the product" (59.9%), followed by "Saw an advertisement" (19.3%), and "Explanation at a dental clinic" (8.4%). The response of "Ill-fitting denture" significantly affected the response of "Use of denture adhesives" (chi-square test; P < 0.001). Moreover, the sensitivity (0.56) was lower than the specificity (0.75). These findings show that denture adhesives were not always necessary for those with ill-fitting dentures.
