Article Abstract
Purpose: Studies of effective methods for the easy removal of denture adhesives from a denture base are not well represented in the literature. We previously assessed the removability of denture adhesives by immersing within denture cleaners, showing that some cleaners have a weak effect, insufficiently effective in daily use. In this study, we prepared a cellulase, as a potential component for denture adhesive removers, and we examined whether the addition of cellulase to denture cleaners is effective in the removal of cream denture adhesives.
Methods: We prepared the cellulase Meicelase as one component for the liquefaction of denture adhesives. We used two denture cleaners and two cream adhesives. After the immersion of plates in sample solutions, we evaluated the area of the sample plate still covered with adhesives. Biofilm removal assay was also performed using denture cleaners containing cellulase.
Results: The addition of cellulase accelerated the removal of cream adhesives in immersion experiments to a rate faster than that of water and denture cleaners. However, it did not influence the removability of Candida albicans biofilms from acrylic resin specimens.
Conclusion: Cellulase hastened the liquefaction of cream adhesives.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-candidal effectiveness of several household products, such as ayurvedic medicines, to established denture cleaning agents. Acrylic samples were compared to denture cleaning pills and chlorhexidine after being submerged in a variety of freshly made ayurvedic formulations, vinegar, and home bleach for 20 minutes, and the total Candida counts (CFU/4 cm) were measured. It was discovered that vinegar (87.

Statement Of Problem: The staining and discoloration of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM) and heat-polymerized denture base resins caused by cleaners and liquids influence material selection and patient instructions; systematic reviews, however, are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate whether CAD-CAM denture base resins exhibit more staining and discoloration compared with heat-polymerized resins after immersion in liquids and cleaners.
Material And Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Objective: To evaluate and characterise the microbial compositional changes of removable dentures after interventions by comparing the efficacy of the test arm (a portable self-operated ultrasonic cleaner combined with an enzymatic peroxide-based denture cleanser solution) to the control arm (immersion of the denture in the same cleanser solution followed by conventional brushing).
Materials And Methods: A prospective, single-blind, block-randomised, two-period crossover, controlled clinical trial was conducted, involving 56 community-dwelling older adults wearing removable acrylic dentures. They were block-randomized into the test/control or control/test denture cleaning sequence.

Among individuals who wear removable dentures, there is a significant likelihood, reaching up to 70 %, of experiencing a condition known as denture-induced stomatitis. To address this issue, a commonly used method involves soaking dentures in denture cleansers to eliminate microorganisms. However, the prolonged use of this cleaning method has resulted in the emergence of drug resistance.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of denture cleansers on the various properties of CAD/CAM and heat-polymerized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Materials And Methods: Two different brands of heat-polymerized and two of milled PMMA were fabricated (n = 50), in total 200. Each group was randomly divided into five subgroups (n = 10): control groups (D1) kept in distilled water, cleaning tablets (D2, D3), neutral (D4) and acidic electrolyzed acid water (EAW) (D5).
