Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, to develop a glueless retentive material for the denture, two prototype of cohesive silicone were made and their adhesive properties and atacchemnt forces were investigated. Although two prototypes improved manipulation of silicone, their adhesive properties and atacchemnt forces were lower than those for control. Besides, all samples didn't show adhesive property　in the presence of artificial saliva. To improve adhesive property of the prototypes with water, the cohesive silicone applied with hydrophilic materials and developing.
