| Research Abstract |
We examined the effects of using DA (denture adhisive) on food mixing ability in patients who were Aramany’s classification I, II and IV. The mixing ability test was performed to investigate the mixing ability index (MAI). From the results, the median MAI before DA application was significantly increased, indicating they were better able to chew the wax cube with DA use.
