Abstract
Regardless of the method the patients choose for cleaning their dentures, it is important for cleaning to become a daily habit. The dentist's responsibility is to inform the patient and motivate the patient to form this daily routine. The following points may be offered to patients: Daily cleaning of dentures removes the bacterial growth that forms on denture surfaces. These bacterial plaques are capable of acid formation and subsequent tissue irritation. Daily cleaning prevents stain and calculus build-up. Unhygienic dentures can be a major cause of offensive mouth odor. Vigorous oral irrigation and gentle brushing of the oral tissues is not only stimulating and refreshing but promotes good tissue health. If the dentist can effectively communicate these ideas to his patients he will be promoting better oral health standards for denture wearers, increased denture comfort, and personal acceptance.
