The effect of prosthesis disinfection on salivary microbial levels

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate how the soaking of dentures in a disinfection solution affects salivary microbe counts and stomatitis of partially dentate patients. Patients soaked their dentures for 4 weeks randomly both in a disinfection solution and in a placebo solution. Mutans streptococci, lactobacilli and yeast counts were measured before and after each test period and also the flow rate, buffer capacity and pH of saliva were registered. Disinfection decreased all microbe levels investigated, but … Show more

“…Evidence has demonstrated that mechanical methods alone are insufficient to remove denture plaque and that chemical methods are also necessary. [10][11] NOHSA 2010 review revealed that common problems experienced by denture wearers were discomfort due to loosen dentures, problems with either speech or chewing or both on wearing their dentures and soreness or pain on wearing dentures. 1 Residual ridge resorption (RRR) is a common, lifelong condition that plagues complete edentulous patients.…”

“…A presença de próteses removíveis parciais ou totais na cavidade bucal é considerada um fator predisponente primário para o desenvolvimento da estomatite protética uma vez que podem bloquear o fluxo de anticorpos da saliva e a ação mecânica de limpeza da língua, desenvolvendo um ambiente aeróbico e acidulado propício para a proliferação microbiana e a formação de biofilmes (BUDTZ-JORGENSEN, 1974;MAHONEN;VIRTANEN;LARMAS, 1998). A colonização por…”

“…(BUDTZ-JORGENSEN, 1974;MAHONEN;VIRTANEN;LARMAS, 1998;MIMA et al, 2012). Essas células fúngicas apresentam capacidade de adesão não apenas à mucosa bucal, mas fundamentalmente à resina acrílica da base das próteses, colonizando-a em profundidade, especialmente nas áreas mais irregulares e porosas, correspondentes às regiões não polidas das próteses (internas) (BUDTZ-JORGENSEN, 1990;DAVENPORT, 1970;PEREIRA-CENCI et al, 2008;PURI et al, 2008).…”

“…são mais freqüentemente isoladas da superfície interna das próteses totais do que da mucosa correspondente (ARENDORF; WALKER, 1979;BANTING;HILL, 2001;DAVENPORT, 1970;MAHONEN;VIRTANEN;LARMAS, 1998). Esse fato sugere que o tratamento para a EP deva ser direcionado primariamente à prótese (DAVENPORT, 1970), uma vez que as colônias de Candida spp.…”
