Abstract: Complete dentures acts as a reservoir for microbial colonization, which may lead to systemic infections. Microwave irradiation has been used as an efficient method of denture disinfection. Even though current methods eliminate denture-base microorganisms, a recurrence rate of denture stomatitis (DS) is still observed among denture-wearing patients. It was hypothesized that microwave disinfection kills microorganisms but do not remove dead bacteria from the denture surface. To test this hypothesis, the biofilm … Show more

“…Previous studies showed that microwave irradiation(650 W) for 3 min resulted in sterilization of all dentures contaminated with An In-Vitro Evaluation of Alternative Disinfection Methods of Acrylic resin and Thermoplastic 251all Candida species whereas, only a significant decrease in Candida species resulted after microwave irradiation for2 min (48,54) . Silva et al (19) , inoculated samples of acrylic resin with species of Candida and later immersed in 100 ml of sterile water and irradiated with microwave at 650 W for 3 min and they found that, microwave irradiation was an effective method for disinfection of the acrylic resins inoculated with C. albicans, C. dubliniensis and C. tropicalis. Senna et al (55) suggested adding denture cleanser to microwave disinfection regimen to reduce the irradiation time and the exposure of dentures to high temperatures.…”

“…MW irradiation has been studied to detect its effectiveness and its influence on physical properties of complete denture materials. Some studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of microwave irradiation as an alternative method for disinfection of denture base acrylic resins (19)(20)(21) . In addition, denture microwave disinfection was as effectives topical antifungal therapy for treating denture stomatitis (22,23) .The influence of MW irradiation on physical properties of denture materials was investigated by researches (24)(25)(26) .…”

“…5 Protez temizleyiciler genellikle protez yüzeyin-deki biyofilm tabakasını azaltmasına rağmen ne kimyasal ajanlar ne de fırçalama tek başına kullanıl-dığında yeterli antiseptik-germisid etkiye sahip değil-dir. 15 Kimyasal ve mekanik yöntemin beraber kullanıldığı kombine yöntem en iyi seçenek olarak düşünülebilir. 2,16 İdeal bir protez temizleyici ajan, protez kaidesi ve yapay dişlerin mekanik özelliklerine zarar vermeden biyofilm birikimini azaltmalı, bakterisidal ve fungisidal etkiye sahip olmalıdır.…”

“…Recently, it has been determined that microwave radiations have effects on cell walls and therefore they destroy microorganisms (25). However, these microorganisms residues remain if microwave radiations are used solely and these residues have the ability to become alive and make a new generation which is usually resistant to medication, and thus, they are considered a threat to oral health and hygiene (26).…”
