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.
