Increased salivary viscosity does not allow good wetting of the denture polymer. Increased salivary viscosity leads to impaired retention of the denture.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased salivary viscosity can indeed impair the wetting of the denture surface, leading to poor adhesion between the denture and the oral tissues. This, in turn, can result in reduced retention of the denture.
