dental adhesives are safe as long as they are used as directed. if the denture is well-fitting and the adhesive is only used to give added stability there should be no ill effects. if adhesives are used excessively to fill voids for an ill-fitting denture they can be harmful to the underlying soft and hard tissues. occasionally in these cases inflammation of the soft tissues can result. in addition because of its movement on the soft tissue and underlying bone an ill-fitting denture can cause bone loss.
