The patients received two dentures: One conventional denture, and the other with multi-suction cups. The retention was measured by a universal testing machine at insertion, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h. All values were recorded in Newtons. Statistical analysis was carried out using two-way analysis of variance with <em>post hoc </em>Tukey’s test.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Retention was higher in denture adhesive than multi-suction cup, and the change of retention was not statistically significant by time.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>Denture adhesive showed better retention clinically and simplified laboratory procedures than multi-suction denture.</p>}, number={D}, journal={Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences}, author={Shoieb, Ahmed M. and Borg, Hesham S.}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={173–177} }
