“…Dentures of 50 elderly patients who received help from carers to maintain their dentures were analyzed. Aerobic bacteria were isolated from all 50 patients, with 23 of 50 demonstrating dental plaque that was colonised by potential respiratory pathogens (Sumi, Sunakawa, Michiwaki, Sakagami, 2002). Acute stroke patients with dysphagia are at risk of aspirating their saliva.…”

“…Proper denture plaque control and its importance for the long term health of oral tissues is very well documented in the literature by various clinical and microbiological studies [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Inadequate denture hygiene may contribute to biofilm formation on the tissue bearing surface of the prostheses which engender opportunistic oral infections such as denture stomatitis 1) .…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of denture cleansers on surface roughness (Ra, µm) of two hard permanent reline resins and a conventional acrylic denture base resin. Fifty specimens of each material, measuring 10 mm×2 mm were randomly divided into 1 control and 4 experimental subgroups (n=10). Surface roughness values were measured using profilometer before and after immersion in distilled water and in 4 different denture cleansers for 8 h for 140 days. The Kruskal Wallis and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests were used for comparison among groups with a significance level of α=0.05. Immersion in denture cleansers significantly increased the surface roughness of reline resins and the difference among the cleansers was statistically significant (p=0.059). Denture cleansers can cause significant surface roughness alterations on hard permanent reline resins and denture base resin where their effect may differ according to the selected resin material.

“…In the growing ranks of the elderly population, oral care is important for prevention not only of caries and periodontal disease, but also of systemic diseases such as aspiration pneumonia 1,2) . In particular, poor denture hygiene results in the accumulation of debris and bacterial plaque on the surface of prostheses, causing malodor and inflammatory changes to the adjacent mucosa 3) .…”

Bactericidal efficacy of glycine-type amphoteric surfactant as a denture cleaner and its influence on properties of denture base resins

et al. 2009

The bactericidal efficacy of 1.00-4.50% glycine-type amphoteric surfactant (Gly) was evaluated by measuring its microorganism removal rate in denture plaque. Physical and mechanical properties such as surface roughness, color difference, and bending strength of two different denture base resins were determined before and after cleaning in Gly solutions, a commercial denture cleaner, and tap water. The microorganism removal rates of all the Gly solutions were higher than those of a commercial enzymatic denture cleaner (Polident) (p>0.05). The removal rate of Candida spp. by Polident was not significantly different from the removal rate using water. Changes in the surface roughness and color difference among the specimens were slight. There were no significant differences in the bending strengths of the two resins for all concentrations of Gly solution (p>0.05). These results suggested that glycine-type amphoteric surfactant solution may be effective as a denture cleaner in conjunction with an ultrasonic cleaning device.
