Abstract: This clinical study investigated if daily immersion in denture cleansers reduces microbial counts on removable partial denture's (RPD) biofilm. Twenty-five RPD wearer volunteers were selected and instructed to complement the hygiene of their dentures by immersing them in an enzymatic peroxide-based denture cleanser (Polident® 3 minute) once a day for 3 min for a period of 15 days. The biofilm was collected from RPD surfaces with a swab immediately before (baseline) and after the experimental period. The sample… Show more

“…[2][3][4]9 Therefore, a soft bristle toothbrush was used to remove the debris and deposit it mechanically from the denture, followed by immersion of the denture in alkaline peroxide-typed denture cleansers. However, the intention of this study was to test the efficacy of various brands of peroxide-type denture cleansers on microbials on dentures.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that denture cleansers are effective only against polymicrobials, but are not effective against Candida species, which coincides with the result of this study. 3,14,15 The different response achieved for different microorganisms may be due to the location of the microorganism itself. Polymicrobials may be located in more superficial layers of the biofilm and consequently are more exposed to denture cleanser agents compared with Candida.…”
