Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect of denture adhesives on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of elderly edentulous patients with complete dentures.Methods:Divided 60 elderly edentulous patients (treated in Jan 2016-Jun 2017) into the test group and the control group randomly,30 persons per group.The Chinese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was used to evaluate OHRQoL.They were invited to fill the questionnaire of OHIP-14 after complete denture prostheses replacement.Patients of the test group used denture adhesives according to the manufacture's suggestions.Three months later of complete denture prosthesis replacement,patients of two groups were invited to fill the questionnaire again.SPSS 22.0 software package was used for data analysis.Results:The total OHIP-14 scores of patients of the test group (17.13±3.937) and the control group (15.43±4.032) were not statistically different after treatment.Three months later of complete denture prosthesis replacement,the total OHIP-14 scores of patients of the test group(8.20±2.511) were lower significantly than controls (13.30±3.789),including functional limitation domain、physical pain domain、physical disability domain and psychological disability domain.Conclusion:Denture adhesives can be used to improve OHRQoL of elderly edentulous patients with complete dentures.
