Abstrakt:	Introduction The lack or complete loss of all-natural teeth is known as edentulism, and it happens frequently. One of the most prevalent issues among edentulous patients is severe resorption of the residual alveolar ridge, which can still occur even with cautious prosthetic treatment. Therefore, one of the biggest issues faced in dentistry today is retention and stability in the rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients using complete denture prostheses. This problem was resolved by using denture adhesives. Studies show that when denture adhesive is applied correctly, it improves stability and effectiveness for individuals wearing complete dentures by increasing the surface tension between the alveolar mucosa and the denture fitting surface. The denture adhesive must possess safety, cost-effectiveness, and sufficient antibacterial and antifungal properties. The application should be easy, without causing any mess, and have a pleasant smell. It should not alter or obstruct the denture's intaglio surface. Nowadays, it is acknowledged that denture adhesives are treatments that can be used in association with dentures. Methods Based on the type of denture adhesive, the patients will be randomly divided into two groups, i.e., 20 patients in each group: Group A (herbal denture adhesive without essential oil) and Group B (herbal denture adhesive with essential oil). The patients will be requested to fill out the questionnaire for masticatory efficiency, retention, stability, etc., at the time of denture insertion without using denture adhesive and seven days after the use of denture adhesive. Expected results The overall satisfaction of complete denture patients will be significantly increased when an herbal denture adhesive infused with essential oil is used. This will result in increased stability, retention of the mandibular denture, improved masticatory efficiency, and patient satisfaction. Conclusions Patients who are elderly may experience physical and psychological challenges when adjusting to new or relined dentures. Denture adhesive, however, can aid in the patient's satisfaction with the prosthesis' altered occlusion and fit. It also makes the patient feel more confident and secure. A dental professional must be consulted before using denture adhesive. Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
