             to participate in the study, or affect the individual's ability to understand and
             follow study procedures and requirements.

          -  A participant with a completely edentulous maxillary arch restored with a conventional
             maxillary full denture with an acrylic base. The maxillary denture prosthesis must
             fulfil all of the following:

               1. At least moderately well-fitting (Kapur Index, Olshan Modification: retention
                  score Greater than or equal to (>=)2, stability score >=2) at the Screening (V1)
                  visit,

               2. Is well made (according to the well-made assessment).

          -  A participant with BF measurements which satisfy all the following criteria:

               1. The qualifying BF measurements (without adhesive) at V1 (Screening) must be less
                  than or equal to (=<) 9lbs.

               2. At least 2 of the 4 qualifying BF measurements (without adhesive) at V1
                  (Screening) must be reproducible (within +-2lbs).

               3. The Baseline BF measurement (without adhesive) at V2-5 must be <=9lbs.

               4. The Baseline BF measurement (without adhesive) at V2-5 and at least 1 of the 3
                  practice BF measurements must be within +-2lbs of each other.

          -  A participant who is dentate in the mandibular arch or has a partial or full denture
             in the mandibular arch that is:

               1. sufficiently stable, in the opinion of the investigator, to enable the bite force
                  determination to be performed.

               2. well made (according to the well-made assessment).

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  A participant who is an employee of the investigational site, either directly involved
             in the conduct of the study or a member of their immediate family; or an employee of
             the investigational site otherwise supervised by the investigator; or, a
             GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSK CH) employee directly involved in the conduct
             of the study or a member of their immediate family.

             abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or
             experimental product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study
             results and, in the judgment of the investigator or medically qualified designee,
             would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.

          -  A participant who has any clinically significant or relevant oral abnormality (for
             example (e.g.) temporomandibular joint [TMJ] problems or tooth abnormalities) that, in
             the opinion of the investigator, could affect the BF measurements or participant
             safety.

          -  A participant who has any condition or medication which, in the opinion of the
             investigator, is currently causing xerostomia or which could interfere with the
             conduct of the study.

          -  A participant with a recent history (within the last year) of alcohol or other
             substance abuse.

          -  A participant with Oral soft tissue (OST) examination findings (at V1) such as
             stomatitis, open sores, lesions, cavitied caries lesions, redness or swelling which in
             the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the conduct of the study.

          -  A participant who has previously been enrolled in this study.

          -  A participant who is unable to comply with study requirements and/or who is not able
