Clinical trial of an experimental cleaning solution: antibiofilm effect and integrity of a silicone-based denture liner.

Aim: This study evaluated the antibiofilm effect of an experimental solution of 2% Ricinus communis (R. communis) on a silicone-based denture liner by means of a randomized clinical trial, as well as the integrity of such liner following a cleansing regimen with such solution.

Materials And Methods: About 30 complete denture wearers had their lower dentures relined with a silicone-based denture liner and randomly allocated to cleanse their dentures by means of: (A) a specific toothbrush for complete dentures and dentifrice; (B) soaking in an experimental 2% R.

Oral health related quality of life of edentulous patients after denture relining with a silicone-based soft liner.

Background: Knowledge of benefits caused by a treatment on quality of life is very relevant. Despite the wide use and acceptance of soft denture liners, it is necessary to evaluate the patient's response about the use of these materials with regard to improvement in oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of denture relining in the OHRQoL of edentulous patients.

Bond strength and degree of infiltration between acrylic resin denture liner after immersion in effervescent denture cleanser.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium perborate on the bond strength and degree of infiltration between acrylic resin/resilient denture liners.

Materials And Methods: Three denture liners (Elite Soft, Mucopren Soft, Kooliner) were investigated. Twenty specimens (83 x 10 x 10 mm(3)) of each material were made by processing the denture liners against two polymerized PMMA blocks.
