Denture

cleansers

Introduction
Growth in the aging population has
resulted in an increasing number of older
persons requiring dentures.
Proper cleansing of dentures is an essential
daily routine in order to ensure the safety
and satisfaction of the edentulous patient.
To maintain an esthetic, odor-free
appliance.

Denture debris
Denture debris Every surface in
the oral cavity, natural or
synthetic, becomes covered
within about 30 minutes with a
0.5-1.5 -thick precipitate of
salivary glycoprotein and
immunoglobulin that is termed
"pellicle.

Composition
Alkaline perborate -compounds for oxidizing
Perborate and/or carbonate effervescing
Edta -chelating
Silicone polymer
Detergent
Color and
fragrance agents.

Types
Mechanical method
Chemical method
Combination method
Ultrasonic cleanser.

Mechanical method
use of a brush in the
presence of either
hot or cold water
Toothbrushes and
nailbrushes are also
effective in removing
gross material.

Place paper towel or wash

cloth in sink to prevent
breakage if dropped
Clean under cool water to
prevent warping
Scrub all areas with denture
brush

Disadvantage
Microbiologic assays and
scanning electron microscopic
images demonstrate that use of
a denture brush with water is
ineffective at removing an
unacceptably large proportion
of adherent microorganisms.

Chemical method
Most chemical means of
disinfection is accomplished
through exposure of the organisms
to oxygen tension levels greater
than oxygen tension levels in the
mouth.

Advantages
Are potentially an effective for the control
of common oral bacteria.
Significant reductions of microbial
populations were achieved without the
mechanical disruptive action of brushing in
as little as 90 seconds.
Level of antimicrobial efficacy was
comparable for a diverse range of
microbes.

Disadvantages
The color stability of denture base acrylic
resins was influenced.
The presence of bleach is that metallic
elements of removable partial dentures
acquire a tenacious black stain after
soaking in the bleach solution for more
than 10 minutes daily.

Ultra sonic denture

cleanser
Sonic Denture Cleaner is an
effective and simple way to
clean dentures
The Sonic Denture Cleanser
effectively removes
discolouration caused by
coffee, tea, red wine and
tobacco.
It also removes lingering
food odours, such as smells
of onions and garlic.

Mode of action
The Sonic Denture Cleaner is integrated
with UV sterilization and nano silver
bacteriostasis.
It utilizes the latest electronic technology
and does not require any consumables or
special cleaning fluids.
The inner compartment becomes nano
silver mixture holder as soon as you fill it
with cold tap water.

Sonic waves vibrate 8000 times per

minute, removing tartar and food
debris lodged between individual
denture teeth and around the gum
plates.
The sterilizing UV light and the
bacteriostatic action of the nano-silver
destroy bacteria. Stains are removed
and your dentures are fresh, clean and
bright again

Dental floss
To clean food debris and plaque from
between your teeth.
The two main methods of cleaning in
between your teeth are by using :
1. dental floss (or tape), or an
2. interdental brush
