An improved denture adhesive that exhibits superior tack, adhesion, cohesive strength and spreadability characteristics is made from a hydrocarbon-free base consisting of a mixture of medium length chain triglycerides which have been mixed with a small amount of fumed silica and other components so as to improve the viscosity, spreadability and taste. Preferred triglycerides include captic and caprylic acids and in particular, a mixture of the caprylic and captic acids which are combines with fumed silica and a water soluble cellosic polymer and a synthetic methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer that is formulated as a paste or gel.

A denture adhesive with significantly improved hold performance is comprised of the mixed partial salts of polymethyl vinyl ether maleic acid. At least one of said salts comprises zirconium while a second salt is selected from the group consisting of calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, strontium and mixtures thereof. Optionally, a tripartite salt formulation may be prepared utilizing sodium, lithium or potassium. The adhesives are formulated in a standard pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle comprised of waxes, oils, colorants, viscosity modifiers and the like as is known in the art. The denture adhesive may be formulated as a paste, powder or liquid which has rapid absorption characteristics for faster swelling softening and superior coalescence.
