Abstract
It is imperative for the dentist prosthodontist to give due attention to the salivary characteristics before, during
and after denture fabrication. The fact that the teeth are in constant contact with and bathed by the saliva would
suggest that this environmental agent could profoundly influence the state of oral health of a person. Denture
retention is also to a large extent dependent upon saliva. Retention in complete denture prosthodontics is
defined as the quality inherent in the prosthesis which resists the forces of dislodgement along the path of
insertion. Successful rehabilitation of edentulous patients with complete dentures is largely contributed to by
satisfactory denture retention. Saliva is a complex biological fluid that plays a very important role in
maintaining the overall health of the oral cavity.
