MORAIS, Dayana Campanelli et al. Bacterial colonization of denture and sanitation methods. Rev. Bras. Odontol. []. 2014, 71, 2, pp. 160-162. ISSN 1984-3747.

This article aims to make a literature review, analyzing microbiology of this biofilm in complete dentures and its various cleaning methods to prevent some diseases that are related to their training. We used the Pubmed database and prosthodontics descriptors, microbiology, and denture biofilm. Among all the studies evaluated the use of sodium hypochlorite, 2% and 0.05%, with or without the coconut soap, is presented as an effective way of cleaning the prosthesis, reducing the biofilm and some pathogenic species. We conclude that the indication of prosthetic cleaning agent should meet the needs of the patient, always one with the best value for money, easy to use and biocompatible.
