Filter by:Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been the material of choice for fabricating complete dentures for more than 80 years now.(1,2) As a material it is easy to handle and can be easily repaired and polished. PMMA while being a low-cost material has good esthetics. Some disadvantages of PMMA as a material are surface roughness and porosities which lead to staining, plaque accumulation and bacterial adhesion over time. Among the various factors that can influence microbial attachment to surfaces, surface roughness, hydrophilicity and free surface energy of PMMA are most important. Carboxylate and methyl ester groups found in PMMA make it a very hydrophilic material with a large amount of free surface energy. Despite the influence of the chemical composition, processing methods play the most important role in developing surface roughness.
The effect of Ozonated water on the treatment of oral stomatitis associated with complete denture wearer in comparison to Chlorhexidine mouthwash
Gold is widely used in prosthetics. Its use ranges from being employed in the fabrication of removable dentures, where the inner surface permanently touching oral cavity tissues, through to fixed dentures, and even some structures of certain implantological systems. All such items can be made of galvanized gold. Thus, new technologies have made gold and its alloys a kind of a universal material.
Cigarette smoking in conjugation with bad oral hygiene is considered a typical predisposing factor for many oral diseases including denture stomatitis. This study investigated the effect of Rose Bengal (RB)-and Curcumin (CUR)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) in comparison with nystatin therapy in the intervention of denture stomatitis in cigarette smokers. Overall, 45 habitual cigarette smokers aged ~58 years having denture stomatitis were categorized into three groups: Group-I - RB-mediated PDT, Group-II - CUR-mediated PDT, and Group-III - Nystatin therapy. The primary outcome of the interest was: counts of Candida colony from denture surface and palatal mucosa, calculated as CFU/mL, whereas the prevalence of Candida species determined in 3 research groups comprised the secondary outcome. Oral swab specimens were gathered from the denture surfaces and palatal mucosa. All clinical assessments were performed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. C. albicans was the most prevalent yeast identified on both denture surfaces and palatal mucosa, followed by C. tropicalis and C. glabrata. A considerable decrease in the CFU/mL scores were observed in Group-I and Group-II at the end of the interventions and on the 12-week follow-up (p<0.05). Group-I, II, and III demonstrated clinical efficacy rates of 53%, 51%, and 49%, respectively. CUR-and RB-mediated PDT was found to be as effective as topical Nystatin therapy for the intervention of denture stomatitis among cigarette smokers.
Objective: This randomized clinical trial assessed antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) mediated by Photodithazine (PDZ) to treat patients with denture stomatitis (DS). Methodologies: Patients with DS were randomly assigned to the groups: aPDT (n=30) and nystatin (NYS, n=35). aPDT patients received 6 aPDT sessions, three times a week for 15 days, which involved PDZ (200 mg/L) topical application (20 min) on the palate and upper denture, followed by light emitting diode (LED) illumination (660 nm, 50 J/cm²). NYS patients were instructed to rinse one dropper of this medication for one minute, four times a day, for 15 days. Microbiological collections of dentures and palates were performed and cultured on blood agar and CHROMAgar Candida. Microbial viability was determined, and photographs of the palates were taken for clinical evaluation. Data were analyzed by Repeated Measure Linear Model and Bonferroni (p≤0.05).
Although cleaning dentures by immersion in chemical denture cleaning solutions is effective in reducing the number of bacteria, a large number remains adhering to the denture surface. Thus, the mechanical cleansing of dentures is imperative to remove adherent microbes, and prevent diseases. This is not always easy to achieve, due to un-compliant patients, or patients with diminished manual dexterity (e.g. Mani phalanx dysfunction or Rheumatoid Arthritis) that often require assistance in cleaning their dentures, which may not always be available. Therefore, the modification of denture base materials to provide them with antibacterial properties to control oral biofilm formation, and producing dentures that can be cleaned by simply rinsing in water would prove to be valuable in oral hygienic management in complete denture-wearing patients.
Cross over design the investigator divide participants to two groups group (A) will receive rapid heat cured denture base material and group (b) will receive the acrylic denture modified by titanium dioxide nanoparticles and after washout period alternatively group (a) will receive the acrylic denture modified by titanium dioxide nanoparticles AND group (b) will receive rapid heat cured denture base material the investigator will take swaps from dentures to count the anaerobic bacteria.
Measurement of surface roughness of tow different material of denture base to find out which material is more hygienic by decreasing the amount of bacterial accumulation.
This study evaluates the effect of coatings on bacterial adhesion on denture acrylic and the wear of denture teeth.
The investigators aim to evaluate a sage-based mouthrinse (Dr. Hauschka Med, Mundspülung Salbei) whether it is less or equal effective in alleviating inflammatory signs of intra-oral mucosa and gingiva than an water/alcohol-based taste adjusted placebo in patients dependent on ADL. Randomization in treatment A (mouthwash with active agent, n=24) or treatment B (placebo mouthwash, n=24) Supervised use of mouthwash A or mouthwash B over 6 weeks 1x/day additional to habitual oral hygiene protocol. The main outcome parameter will be Sulcus Bleeding Index SBI.
