About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study Assessing Maximum Maxillary Bite Force When Using a Novel Denture Adhesive Compared to Using No-adhesive

The purpose of this study is to investigate the hold properties of an investigational denture adhesive using an established methodology called the maximum incisal bite force (BF), and Kapur-Olshan (KO) index for denture retention and stability. The effects of hot drinks and two questionnaires relating to participants' perception will also be assessed for the investigational denture adhesive.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a single-centre, controlled, randomized, single blind, 4-treatment, 4-period, cross-over study to evaluate maximum maxillary bite force in a population of full maxillary denture wearers. This study consists of 5 visits (1 screening visit and 4 treatment periods including minimum washout period of 2 days between treatment visits). Participant's maxillary and mandibular dentures will be assessed for retention and stability using KO index and whether they are well made. Participants will be randomized to one of the 4 treatment groups i.e. No adhesive, Super Poligrip Free (SPF), Investigational Adhesive and Investigational Adhesive + Hot drink arm group and will undergo an oral soft tissue (OST) and Oral Hard Tissue (OHT) examination. Participants who will meet all the inclusion and no exclusion criteria will continue the study. Participants will complete the BF measurement, KO assessment, OST, OHT examination and participants 'perception questionnaire as per the schedule.

Being tested
Investigational denture adhesive cream, Super Poligrip Free

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area Over Baseline Over 12 Hours (AOB 0-12) to Compare Maximum Incisal Bite Force (BF)

    Incisal bite force measurements will be performed to analyse the denture dislodgement as measure of denture adhesive hold efficacy. All BF measurements will be conducted by an examiner. AOB0-12 will be used to assess the incisal bf and is defined as (AUC0-12)/12 minus baseline BF(pounds [lbs]). Area under the Curve (AUC) is calculated from 0 to 12 hours (hr) using the trapezoid method; denoted as AUC0-12. This transformation will return the measurement to the same scale as the original observations. Area over baseline in BF as measured by AOB0-12 will be analyzed for each of the three interventional products, compared to no adhesive. Higher values of AOB0-12 demonstrate a stronger bite force overtime than lower values.

    Measured: Up to 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Area Over Baseline (AOB) at 0.5, 1, 3, 6 And 9 Hours to Compare Maximum Incisal Bite Force

    Incisal bite force measurements will be performed to analyse the denture dislodgement as measure of denture adhesive hold efficacy. All BF measurements will be conducted by an examiner. This transformation will return the measurement to the same scale as the original observations. AOB for 0.5, 1, 3, 6 and 9 hours will be analyzed using the trapezoid method. Area over baseline in BF as measured by AOB will be analyzed for each of the three active products, compared to no adhesive. Higher values of AOB demonstrate a stronger bite force overtime than lower values.

    Measured: Baseline, at 0.5, 1, 3, 6 and 9 hours

  2. Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Retention

    KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures. Retention will be measured on score of 0-5 to assess nature of resistance offered by denture to vertical force at the canine/lateral incisor region of the denture: 0= No retention- when the denture was seated in place, it displaced itself; 1= Poor- denture offers slight resistance to vertical pull and little or no resistance to lateral force; 2= Fair- denture offered moderate resistance to vertical pull and little or no resistance to lateral forces; 3= Good- denture offered moderate resistance to vertical pull and lateral force; 4= Very Good- denture offered very good resistance to vertical pull and lateral force; 5=Excellent - denture offered excellent resistance to vertical pull and lateral force. Higher the score, higher the retention ability of denture.

    Measured: Baseline, at 3 hours

  3. Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Stability

    KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures. Stability will be measured on score of 0-4: 0= No stability- when denture base had extreme rocking under pressure; 1= Poor- when denture base had moderate rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 2= Fair- when denture base had slight rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 3= Good- when denture base had very slight rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 4= Excellent- when denture base offered no rocking on its supporting structures under pressure. Higher the score, higher the denture stability.

    Measured: Baseline, at 3 hours

  4. Composite Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Retention and Stability

    KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures. Retention will be measured on score of 0-5 to assess nature of resistance offered by denture to vertical force at the canine/lateral incisor region of the denture: 0=No retention; 1= Poor; 2=Fair; 3=Good; 4=Very Good;5=Excellent. Stability will be measured as score of 0-4 to assess nature of rocking offered by maxillary denture by placing alternate horizontal force at the cuspid and contralateral molar regions of the upper denture: 0=No stability; 1=Poor; 2=Fair; 3=Good; 4=Excellent. Composite KO Index scores will be measured as the sum score of retention \& stability of dentures such that a sum score of zero (0) represents no retention and stability and a sum score of 9 represents excellent retention and stability.

    Measured: Baseline, at 3 hours

  5. Area Over Baseline (AOB) at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 Hours to Compare Maximum Incisal Bite Force Following the Consumption of a Hot Drink

    Incisal bite force measurements will be performed to analyse the denture dislodgement as measure of denture adhesive hold efficacy. All BF measurements will be conducted by an examiner. This transformation will return the measurement to the same scale as the original observations. AOB for 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours will be analyzed using the trapezoid method. Change from baseline in BF as measured by AOB will be analyzed for each of the three active products, compared to no adhesive. Assessment of maximum incisal bite force of an investigational denture adhesive following the consumption of a hot drink to no adhesive was done. Higher values of AOB demonstrate a stronger bite force overtime than lower values.

    Measured: Baseline, at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours

  6. Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Retention Following the Consumption of a Hot Drink

    KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures following the consumption of a hot drink versus no adhesive. Retention will be measured on score of 0-5 to assess nature of resistance offered by denture to vertical force at the canine/lateral incisor region of the denture: 0= No retention- when the denture was seated in place, it displaced itself; 1= Poor- denture offers slight resistance to vertical pull and little or no resistance to lateral force; 2= Fair- denture offered moderate resistance to vertical pull and little or no resistance to lateral forces; 3= Good- denture offered moderate resistance to vertical pull and lateral force; 4= Very Good- denture offered very good resistance to vertical pull and lateral force; 5=Excellent - denture offered excellent resistance to vertical pull and lateral force. Higher the score, higher the retention ability of denture.

    Measured: Baseline, at 3 hours

  7. Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Stability Following the Consumption of a Hot Drink

    KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures following the consumption of a hot drink versus no adhesive. Stability will be measured on score of 0-4: 0= No stability- when denture base had extreme rocking under pressure; 1= Poor- when denture base had moderate rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 2= Fair- when denture base had slight rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 3= Good- when denture base had very slight rocking on its supporting structures under pressure; 4= Excellent- when denture base offered no rocking on its supporting structures under pressure. Higher the score, higher the stability of denture.

    Measured: Baseline, at 3 hours

  8. Composite Kapur Olshan (KO) Index Scores for Denture Retention and Stability Following the Consumption of a Hot Drink

    KO Index score will be assessed to examine retention and stability performance of maxillary dentures following the consumption of a hot drink versus no adhesive.

Stability will be measured as score of 0-4 to assess nature of rocking offered by maxillary denture by placing alternate horizontal force at the cuspid and contralateral molar regions of the upper denture: 0=No stability; 1=Poor; 2=Fair; 3=Good; 4=Excellent. Composite KO Index scores will be measured as the sum score of retention \& stability of dentures such that a sum score of zero represents no retention and stability and a sum score of 9 represents excellent retention and stability.

    Measured: Baseline, at 3 hours

  9. Number of Participants who Feel Their Denture is More Stable and Secure After Using Adhesive

    Denture stability and retention questionnaire will be completed by participants post dinner and hot drink after 9hr BF measurement for investigational adhesive + hot drink treatment arm only. Participants who will answer the question, 'Compared to when you had no adhesive at the start of the study day, how stable and secure does your upper denture feel?' will be evaluated for this outcome measure and will be scored on 0-4 scale as follows: 0- Much less; 1-Less; 2-Neither more or less; 3-More; 4-Much more where higher score indicates participant's perception of good denture stability.

    Measured: Baseline, 9 hr after the BF measurement

  10. Number of Participants who Feel Less Worried About Denture Slipping/Wobbling After Using Adhesive

    Denture stability and retention questionnaire will be completed by participants post dinner and hot drink after 9hr BF measurement for investigational adhesive + hot drink treatment arm only. Participants who will answer the question, 'Compared to when you had no adhesive at the start of the study day, how worried are you about your denture slipping and/or wobbling?' will be evaluated for this outcome measure and will be scored on 0-4 scale as follows: 0-Not at all worried; 1-Slightly worried; 2-Moderately worried; 3-Very worried; 4-Extremely worried, where lower score indicates participant's perception of good denture stability and retention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Investigational denture adhesive cream and Super Poligrip Free in people with Denture Retention, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area Over Baseline Over 12 Hours (AOB 0-12) to Compare Maximum Incisal Bite Force (BF) (time frame: Up to 12 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jan 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
