Analysis of the surface microbiome of removable monomeric and monomer-free plastics dentures treated with various hygiene products
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: AIM. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in the surface microbiome of removable dentures depending on the base material and hygiene products. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study was attended by 30 patients aged 65 to 70 years using different hygiene products. The study included the determination of the prothesis hygiene index and PCR analysis of the material from the surface of the plate. Statistical analysis of the data included a description of accounting characteristics and assessment of the statistical significance of changes in the studied indicators. RESULTS. Statistical analysis showed a pronounced, statistically significant negative dynamics for all microbiological indicators in the structure of the removable apparatus and an improvement in the hygiene of the plate and the oral cavity. CONCLUSIONS. A study of patients using orthopedic structures with different bases, as well as the use of different hygiene products using a visual-index assessment and microbiological analysis will allow you to choose the most optimal hygiene option and device design.
