Patient Awareness of Denture Cleansers: Insights from A Questionnaire Survey

Abstract As the incidence of edentulousness is ever rising, the need for dentures as well as their hygiene is of utmost importance. Patient education about the availability together with the pros and cons of the individual denture disinfectant has to be mandatorily done by the dental practitioner. The success of the denture depends not only on accurate clinical and technical procedures carried out by the dentist but also on denture hygiene care practices followed by the patients. Denture care is, therefore, an imperative step to maintain denture quality, aesthetics, and longevity to ensure good oral health status. Hence, the basic objective of this study was to investigate awareness and knowledge about denture cleansers among patients wearing it.
