Resumo

Objective: To assess dentists’ knowledge regarding adhesive usage in complete dentures (CD). Material and Methods: Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire administered via the Google Forms platform. The study included dentists with active Regional Dentistry Council (CDR) registration, both general practitioners and prosthodontics specialists, practicing within Brazilian territory. Results: The findings revealed that, although adhesives positively impact denture stability, retention, masticatory performance, comfort, and patient satisfaction, there is still limited knowledge among professionals regarding their proper use. Conclusion: Results highlighted the professionals’ lack of knowledge on the subject and the consequent importance of continuous professional development to ensure high-quality dental care.
