Clinical Trial Summary

Several dental professionals recommend that complete denture wearers should brush their palate. Some advantages include better cleansing and blood flow, which may help to prevent or treat oral infections, such as denture-related stomatitis. However, there is no previous clinical trial dealing on that subject. Therefore, our goal is to evaluate whether palatal brushing may change the severity of denture stomatitis or counts of microbes on dentures and mucosa. After an initial exam and data collection, participants will receive instructions for palatal hygiene and will be assessed following 1 and 3 months. Collected data include patient-reported information, intraoral photographs and swabbing (for counting microbes).

Tested Hypotheses:

- There is no difference in the extent of palatal inflammation in edentulous patients with denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing.

- There is no difference in the number of colony forming unit (CFU) of Candida isolated from palate and denture of patients affected by denture stomatitis before and after 3 months of palatal brushing.
