Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the microbiome shift of denture biofilm formation, the incidence of Candida and changes of salivary inflammatory markers following insertion of 3-dimensional printed PMMA denture.
Methods: This was a pilot study of 6 patients provided with 3D printed (test group) or conventionally heat-cured (control group) removable partial acrylic dentures followed up for 6 weeks. 3 denture swabs were collected at week 1, 3 and 6; and saliva samples were collected at baseline, week 1, 3 and 6 following denture insertion. Microbial DNA was isolated, and the 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced to assess the denture microbiota. The presence of Candida was determined using PCR assay. The levels of salivary biomarkers lactoferrin (LTF) and histatin (HTN) were determined using ELISA.
Results: Denture microbiome of both groups exhibited similar microbial compositions at weeks 1, 3 and 6. However, the percentage of Streptococcus in the test group was significantly lower at week 1 (p < 0.05). Greater bacterial diversity was detected in the test group (p < 0.05; pairwise Wilcoxon) after 6 weeks. The presence of Candida was only detected in one sample of the 3D printed denture (test group) after 6 weeks. The level of LTF biomarkers increased in both groups after 6 weeks, however, the level of HTN increased only in the control group.
Conclusions: Denture microbiome of both groups demonstrated similar microbial compositions. After 6 weeks, 3D printed denture demonstrated higher diversity with delayed microbiome shift compared to conventional heat cure dentures. 3D printed denture may be a viable alternative to conventional denture and it has a potential to delay microbial dysbiosis.
Clinical Relevance: Among wearers, 3D printed denture can potentially reduce the risk of denture stomatitis. A greater diversity may delay or slow the transition of denture microbiome to dysbiosis.

Statement Of Problem: The accumulation of microorganisms on complete dentures has adverse effects on general health. Precautions should be taken to prevent colonization by these harmful pathogens, but whether an intake of probiotics effectively reduces microbiota is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to examine the effectiveness of probiotics against the microbial colonization of dentures and the oral regions.

Introduction: Assessment of the denture plaque can provide a valuable report regarding the oral health of geriatric patients and the oral hygiene habits in this population group. Focusing on the current research gap on this topic in Romania, our research aims to highlight the microbial plaque on the different surfaces and types of removable poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) prostheses to qualitatively evaluate the microbial species, and to assess the combined effect of mechanical and chemical cleaning of dentures on the prosthetic microbiome.
Methods: The prosthetic plaque from four denture wearers was identified with a UV activated fluorescent revealer and digitally photographed.

Introduction: Bacteria can enter the bloodstream through simple actions such as brushing teeth, flossing, and even chewing food, increasing the chance of hematogenous seeding of prosthetic joints. Antibiotics before dental work in patients with orthopedic hardware is a topic of debate because of concerns for antibiotic resistance. Patients with dentures theoretically avoid this risk due to the lack of teeth and their maintenance.

Unlabelled: Fungi compose a minority but a common component of normal oral microbiota and contribute to oral and systemic health by interacting with bacterial inhabitants. This study investigated the relationship of oral fungal profiles to health status and bacterial profiles of 159 elderly adults receiving community support and home care services. Fungal and bacterial densities and compositions were determined based on the fungal ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region and bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon analyses, respectively.
