Abstract
Objective:
Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the maximum displacement resistance of silicone samples adhered to human skin using different adhesives. For this purpose, colorless silicone samples (A-4530-HCRA Silicone Gum HCR) pigmented with Functional Intrinsic II Silicone Coloring System were made and distributed into five groups (1. SA specific adhesive for maxillofacial prostheses: Drying Adhesive; 2. GHPG hair prosthesis glue; 3.GFEG semi-permanent fake eyelash glue; 4. GCLG colorless liquid glue; and 5. GDAT and denture adhesive tape). Four times were used, 30 min (T0), 240 (T1), and 480 min (T2) after the samples were adhered to the volunteer’s forearm.
Results:
The maximum silicone displacement force was greater for the Hair Prosthesis Glue group (GHPG) in the T0 and T2 periods.
Conclusion:
The results show that hair glue (GHPG) would be an alternative option for use in maxillofacial prostheses and denture adhesive tape (GDAT) showed a lack of effective adhesion.
