AimThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate the application possibility of water containing organic acids (WOA), made by some organic acids used as food additives, for chemical denture cleaning for older adults by microbial investigation.MethodsUsing anin vitrobiofilm study, we determined the effects of WOA onStreptococcus sanguinis,S. pneumoniaeandCandida albicansattached to heat‐cured acrylic resins. Specimens were divided into three groups as follows: control group (TW), commercial denture cleaner group (DC) and WOA group (WOA). Specimens were treated with each for 5 min, 30 min or 8 h, and the numbers of attached microbes were determined by counting colony‐forming units or adenosine triphosphate analysis. Using anin vivobiofilm study, we studied the effects of these same solutions on 60 complete dentures. The dentures were divided randomly and blindness into three groups as described above, and treated for 10 min. The numbers of microbes attached to dentures before and after treatment were determined by counting colony‐forming units.ResultsFor thein vitrobiofilm study, there were significant differences in the numbers of microbes between WOA and TW, although there were no significant differences between WOA and DC except forC. albicans. For thein vivobiofilm study, there were significant differences between WOA, DC and TW, although there was no significant difference between WOA and DC.ConclusionWe conclude that water containing organic acids exerts antimicrobial effects as strong as commercial denture cleaner, and it has an application possibility of use for safe chemical denture cleaning for older adults.Geriatr Gerontol Int 2015; 16: 300–306.
