Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the antibacterial activity of currently purchasable denture cleansers against .
Materials And Methods: This study used tablet-type denture cleansers, Polident®, Coolingdent® and Fittydent®, along with liquid denture cleansers, Hexamedine®, Listerine® and Apple vinegar®. The antibacterial activities of denture cleansers were evaluated based on the number of and concentrations of the denture cleansers.
Results: In the 0.5 × 10 cfu/ml culture medium, the ' death rate of Polident® was significantly lower than those of Fittydent®, Hexamedine®, Listerine®, and Apple vinegar®(<.05). In the 0.5 × 10 cfu/, the ' death rates of Polident® and Coolingdent® were significantly lower than those of Fittydent®, Hexamedine®, Listerine® and Apple vinegar®(<.05). The ' death rates of Polident® and Coolingdent® were significantly decreased at 0.02 g and 0.01 g. The ' death rate of Fittydent® was significantly decreased at 0.005 g (<.05). The ' death rate of Hexamedine® was significantly decreased at 1/16 dilution. The ' death rate of Listerine® was decreased at 1/8 dilution, and the antibacterial activity of Apple vinegar® was decreased at 1/4 dilution (<.05).
Conclusion: As the number of increased, the antibacterial activities of the denture cleansers decrease. In the tablet-type denture cleanser, all denture cleansers showed 100% ' death rate when used at a dose of 1 tablet. One denture cleanser showed the same antibacterial effect with only 1/3 of a tablet. In the liquid type denture cleanser, the level of dilution required was different for each denture cleanser.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates and compares the retention forces of nylon versus PEEK denture attachments over time and exposure to denture cleansers.
- Two types of attachment materials were tested on models with implants, and dislodgement forces were measured at baseline and after multiple insertion-removal cycles, as well as after soaking in a denture cleanser.
- Results indicated that the frequency of insertion and removal significantly reduced retention values, while soaking in cleanser did not have a significant impact, with blue nylon showing the lowest retention values across the tests.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of denture cleansers on the various properties of CAD/CAM and heat-polymerized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Materials And Methods: Two different brands of heat-polymerized and two of milled PMMA were fabricated (n = 50), in total 200. Each group was randomly divided into five subgroups (n = 10): control groups (D1) kept in distilled water, cleaning tablets (D2, D3), neutral (D4) and acidic electrolyzed acid water (EAW) (D5).

Article Synopsis
- This research examines how different attachment systems and cleaning methods affect microbial growth on implant-supported overdentures, which are important for patients with tooth loss.
- The study involved testing various denture materials and cleaning techniques, revealing that deeper attachment systems lead to more microbial adhesion and complicate cleaning.
- Combining ultrasonic cleaning with chemical cleaners was found to be the most effective approach for reducing both biofilm and viable bacteria on the dentures, suggesting better cleaning strategies are necessary for maintaining oral hygiene.

Background/objectives: We aimed to assess the antifungal efficacy and impact of a denture cleanser containing extract on the surface characteristics of denture base materials, as well as its physical and biological properties.
Methods: The experimental denture cleansers were formulated with at concentrations of 100 and 150 μg/mL, combined with 1% cocamidopropyl betaine as a natural surfactant. Antifungal efficacy was evaluated using zone-of-inhibition assays against , revealing inhibition zones of 20 ± 1.
Purpose: This study evaluates the antibiofilm action of 2.5 mg/mL peracetic acid (PA), 0.5 mg/mL cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and 160 mg/mL N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) against multispecies biofilm of Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Candida glabrata, developed on surfaces of heat-polymerizing acrylic resin (AR) and cobaltchromium (Co-Cr) alloy.
