Evaluation of the efficiency of denture cleaners for removing denture adhesives

Abstract

Some denture cleaners could liquefy cream adhesives more than water, but these differences were not observed in case of powder and cushion adhesives.

Crossover clinical trial of different methods of removing a denture adhesive and the influence on the oral microbiota

“…8,20 According to Sato et al, 23 only brushing fails to promote adequate cleaning in all regions of the denture, which indicates the need to soak the denture in solutions of effervescent tablets. Harada-Hada et al 14 also observed that immersion in denture cleaning solutions could be an alternative method of denture adhesive removal.…”

“…Sato et al 23 investigated in vivo the ease of removing denture adhesives from the oral mucosa. Harada-Hada et al 14 investigated in vitro the efficiency of denture cleansers on adhesive removal and observed that some denture cleaners composed of enzymes and hydrogen peroxide could be indicated for the removal of cream-type adhesives.…”

An <i>in vitro</i> study on the selection of surfactants for removal of cream denture adhesives from dentures and their application to denture cleaners

“…The experimental method used in this study is shown in Figures 1A-C. Experiments concerning the removal of denture adhesives were performed according to a previously described procedure [23,24], with modifications (Fig. 1A).…”

“…cient [23][24][25][26][27]. A study of immersion experiments revealed that commercial denture cleaners are suboptimal for daily use with respect to the removal of adhesives.…”

“…A study of immersion experiments revealed that commercial denture cleaners are suboptimal for daily use with respect to the removal of adhesives. The addition of an enzyme cellulase to cleaners facilitated the removal of cream adhesives by CMC hydrolysis, but was insufficient for the removal of hydrophilic ingredients [23,24]. The difficulty of removing denture adhesives from acrylic resins using chemical and mechanical cleaning methods, as well as their combination, has also been demonstrated in in vitro studies [25][26][27].…”
