AB  - PURPOSE: Edentulism and conventional complete denture treatment have been shown 
      to have a negative impact on oral health quality of life (OHQoL). The use of an 
      adhesive agent can provide an alternative to implant-supported prostheses. The 
      objective of this study was to show that new complete dentures using a denture 
      adhesive (DA) improve oral health-related quality of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 
      The oral health QoL of 143 patients was assessed after 3 months of wearing new 
      complete dentures. Fourteen participants presented a low geriatric oral health 
      assessment index (GOHAI) score and were included in this study and asked to use a 
      DA. Oral health QoL and masticatory parameters were assessed at the beginning of 
      the study, then at 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: Significant improvements were 
      observed in the scores obtained for each field of GOHAI (function, pain, 
      discomfort, psychosocial); however, even after use of the DA, no statistically 
      significant change in masticatory parameters was found. CONCLUSIONS: These 
      results show that using a DA may improve subjects' ability to manage conventional 
      dentures and enhance their oral quality of life. A larger, prospective, 
      multicenter study is subsequently needed to confirm these results.
