A comparative evaluation of commercially available non-herbal denture adhesives and essential oil based herbal denture adhesives on patient comfort and satisfaction- a clinical trial.
Trial report in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEdentulism, the absence or total loss of all-natural teeth, is a common condition. Severe resorption of the residual alveolar ridge is one of the most common problems among edentulous patients, and it can still happen even with careful prosthetic therapy. Thus, the stability and retention of fully edentulous patients utilizing complete denture prostheses is one of the most significant challenges in dentistry today. Denture adhesive was used to solve this issue. According to studies, denture adhesive increases the surface tension between the denture fitting surface and the alveolar mucosa, improving stability and efficacy for those wearing complete dentures. Denture adhesive must be affordable, safe, and possess enough antimicrobial and antifungal qualities. It should have a pleasant fragrance, simple to apply, and not messy. It shouldn’t change or block the intaglio surface of the denture. Denture adhesives are currently recognized as therapies that can be applied in conjunction with dentures.
methodsOn the Basis of Denture adhesive, the patients were randomly divided into two groups i.e. 20 patients in each group. Group A (commercially available denture adhesive i.e. Fixon) and Group B (Cinnamon oil incorporated denture adhesive). The patients were requested to fill out the questionnaire for masticatory efficiency, retention, stability, etc. at the time of denture insertion without using denture adhesive and seven days after the use of denture with denture adhesive.
resultsThe comparison between Non-Herbal and Herbal denture adhesive suggests comparable effectiveness in most aspects of denture satisfaction. However, Group B (Herbal Methods) showed significantly better outcomes in speech clarity (p = 0.047) and denture fit/removal (p = 0.037). These findings indicate a potential advantage of herbal methods in enhancing speech and ease of denture use.
conclusionsElderly patients benefit from denture adhesives for improved comfort and confidence. This study found comparable satisfaction between herbal and non-herbal adhesives, with herbal methods showing significantly better results in speech clarity and denture fit/removal. Herbal adhesives may offer added advantages, warranting further research with larger sample sizes.
