- Abstract
-
Background: Denture surfaces promote microbial adhesion and biofilm formation, increasing the risk of inflammatory oral diseases. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of a newly developed domestic hygienic powder for cleaning removable dentures compared with mechanical cleaning and Corega Bio Formula tablets. Methods: A comparative clinical study was conducted among patients wearing acrylic and nylon removable dentures. Microbial samples were collected at baseline, after 1 month, and after 3 months. Results: The novel hygienic powder demonstrated the most pronounced reduction in microbial load, including Streptococcus spp. and Candida spp. Conclusion: The developed powder provides superior antimicrobial efficacy and supports its implementation in prosthetic practice.
