Abstract
AIM: The aim of the study was to compare the retention of two modalities: Multi-suction cup denture, and denture adhesive and to evaluate the change of retention by different time intervals.
 PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twelve completely edentulous patients were selected. 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 post hoc Tukey’s test.
 RESULTS: Retention was higher in denture adhesive than multi-suction cup, and the change of retention was not statistically significant by time.
 CONCLUSION: Denture adhesive showed better retention clinically and simplified laboratory procedures than multi-suction denture.
