ABSTRACT:
An encapsulated adhesive is disclosed for use in fastening denture plates as well as a method for fastening denture plates by use of the encapsulated adhesive. A capsule which dissolves upon contact with the human skin contains a predetermined quantity of solid adhesive. When denture plates are to be fastened in the mouth of a wearer, a capsule containing the adhesive, preferably a capsule which has been softened in a moisturizing container, is placed between the denture plate and mouth after the plate has been loosely seated in its approximate final position in the oral cavity. When pressure is applied to the dental plate and the capsule is compressed, liquefaction of the capsule causes the adhesive to spread between the denture plate and supporting tissue of the wearer. After three capsules have been inserted at appropriate locations along the rim of contact of the denture plate with the mouth, and the capsule adhesive has become distributed along the contact area, the denture plate is securely seated in place. Upon loosening of a denture plate, the encapsulated adhesive of the present invention can be inserted to reseat the denture plate, thereby avoiding inconvenient customary manipulation of the denture plate.
