 2016.12.22.

Reserching and developing the effective denture cleanser using our country's materials and resources is important to improve oral hygienic condition. And denture cleaning is important to remove halitosis.

Now several types of denture cleansers are developing and using in the world.

In Prosthodontics, Dental Faculty, Pyongyang Medical College of Kim Il Sung University, we studied phytic acid liquid denture cleanser with stability to the denture material to remove effectively calculus and debris in order to improve the oral hygienic condition.

We determined the effective concentration to clean denture and investigated the effectivity to remove calculus and debris and stability to denture base materials.

We drawed up the experiment calculation of hours removing debris of type 4 denture according to the concentration of phytic acid liquid and had conclusion that 5 hours concentration is effective to clean denture.

Debris was removed completely in 5 hours in study group, but in control 81.58±2.89%, so it was higher in study group than control.

There wasn't siginificiant difference of bending strength between study group and control until 30 days after acrylic resin was soaked in denture cleanser compared with before application.

The more dentures was dirty, the more bacteria was increased.

After denture cleaning bacteria had not been found on all denture mucosal suface.

In study group denture plaque was removed after third day and there was siginificiant difference compared with control.

Our reseach about phytic acid liquid denture cleanser is going on.
