About

Adequate denture hygiene is important to patient's oral health maintenance in particular because of Candida albicans, responsible for the development of denture stomatitis. The aim of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial seeking for the best hygiene protocols to be used in removable denture wearers. The null hypothesis tested is that there will be no difference among the denture hygiene protocols tested.
