Indices for complete dentures after cleaning at home

Abstract

Background: According to experts, there are more than 350 million fully edentulous patients globally, accounting for 7% of the world population. Edentulous patients require dentures to maintain a good quality of life. Complete dentures need to be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent their microbial contamination and inflammatory complications.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of Anolit ANK Super solution for cleaning complete dentures at home.

Materials and Methods: The hygiene of complete dentures was assessed using the Ulitovsky–Leontiev index. The efficacy of cleaning complete dentures with Anolit ANK Super solution compared to 0.05% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution was assessed.

Moreover, statistical analysis methods were used: normality test; threshold value, or baseline significance level p=0.05; intragroup comparison (6 comparisons) with the Bonferroni correction (critical p=0.0083).

Results: When assessing the hygiene of dentures using the Ulitovsky–Leontiev index, the denture cleanliness index (DCI) changed from 4.65 points (poor denture hygiene) to 3.50 points (satisfactory denture hygiene) after one month of using Anolit ANK Super solution. After three months of using Anolit ANK Super solution, the DCI changed from 3.50 points (satisfactory denture hygiene) to 2.60 points (good denture hygiene). After six months of using Anolit ANK Super solution, the DCI changed from 2.60 points (good denture hygiene) to 1.55 points (very good denture hygiene).

After one month of using 0.05% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution, the DCI changed from 4.85 points (poor denture hygiene) to 4.40 points (poor denture hygiene) (p=0.0083). After three months of using 0.05% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution, the DCI changed from 4.40 points (poor denture hygiene) to 3.50 points (satisfactory denture hygiene) (p=0.0083). After six months of using 0.05% chlorhexidine bigluconate solution, the DCI changed from 3.50 points (satisfactory denture hygiene) to 2.60 points (good denture hygiene) (p=0.0083).

Conclusion: The follow-up revealed that, with similar duration of exposure to test solutions, Anolit ANK Super solution for cleaning dentures at home used for 6 months decreased the DCI threefold from baseline (p=0.000002) and improved denture hygiene from poor to good.
