Denture cleanliness and hygiene: an overview

Abstract: Dentures are an excellent treatment modality for partial and edentate patients; however, improper denture care and hygiene can result in both decreased longevity of the prosthesis and increased risk of developing dental caries, periodontal disease and oral candidosis. Previously, it has been shown that patients and dental professionals are unaware of the different materials and methods available for optimum denture care and hygiene. This article provides an overview of the key legislation and main commercially… Show more

“…Consequently, the null hypothesis should be partially rejected. The cleaners tested have been specifically designed for orthodontic aligners, although the quantitative composition of some (RB, RC) resembles that of conventional denture-base cleaners [23]. RB and RC cleaners are mainly composed of sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate, which in water solutions decompose to borates and hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide with sodium and carbonate ions.…”

“…O conhecimento adquirido durante a graduação irá refletir na prática do profissional. Constatou-se que o método mecânico de escovação foi o mais indicado pelos alunos entrevistados, refletindo nos dados encontrados na literatura, que demonstram que a escovação mecânica tem sido o método de higienização mais utilizado pelos pacientes (Milward et al, 2013;Cunha et al,2016;Wong et al, 2019;Cankaya et al, 2020;Cinquanta et al, 2021;Mylonas et al, 2022).…”

“…A utilização de materiais específicos para higienização das próteses é essencial para sua manutenção e longevidade. A maioria dos entrevistados do grupo avançado responderam que o paciente deverá utilizar escovas e dentifrícios específicos para prótese, estando de acordo com a literatura (Cunha et al, 2016;Mylonas et al, 2022). Escovas especificas e auxiliares de limpeza mecânica, como dentifrícios com baixa abrasividade, minimizam o risco de arranhões na prótese, reduzindo o acúmulo de biofilme e melhorando sua longevidade clínica (Mylonas et al, 2022).…”

“…Sonic denture cleaner can be used to remove food particles from the dentures, alternative to that is to put the prosthesis under the running water to remove food debris. 7 Although it is said that flexible prosthesis is virtually unbreakable and high impact resistant but the acrylic teeth that attached to it are made of acrylic or porcelain are not. Therefore it should be carefully handled during insertion, removal and cleaning.…”
