paste application. apply this denture adhesive to a dry or preferably wet denture. avoid placing adhesive close to the denture borders. if the adhesive oozes use less of the product. for dentures on the upper jaw apply three short strips of adhesive-or s series of small dots-along the ridge area and one down the center. for dentures on the lower jaw apply three short strips of adhesive-or s series of small dots-in the center of the ridge area. powder application. sprinkle a thin uniform layer throughout the tissue-bearing surface of the denture. shake off excess powder and press the denture into place. powders may be preferred over pastes because they are easier to clean off the denture and tissue. in addition they don't have the same tendency as pastes do to "shim" (keep the denture away from the tissue).
