Influence of daily immersion in denture cleanser on multispecies biofilm.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of daily exposure to a denture cleanser on a multispecies biofilm.

Materials And Methods: Multispecies biofilms (five bacteria and Candida albicans) were developed for 64.5 h on acrylic resin specimens and randomized into control and experimental groups.

Evaluation of sodium hypochlorite as a denture cleanser: a clinical study.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on biofilms, colour stability (ΔE) and surface roughness (Ra) of complete dentures and patient acceptability.

Background: Denture cleansers should be able to reduce the accumulation of biofilms without affecting the acrylic resin properties. Patient satisfaction is important to maintaining their daily use.

Efficacy of denture cleansers in reducing microbial counts from removable partial dentures: a short-term clinical evaluation.

This clinical study investigated if daily immersion in denture cleansers reduces microbial counts on removable partial denture's (RPD) biofilm. Twenty-five RPD wearer volunteers were selected and instructed to complement the hygiene of their dentures by immersing them in an enzymatic peroxide-based denture cleanser (Polident® 3 minute) once a day for 3 min for a period of 15 days. The biofilm was collected from RPD surfaces with a swab immediately before (baseline) and after the experimental period.
