义齿的清洁对于防止异味、美观和牙菌斑/结石的堆积及其对粘膜的有害影响至关重要。有大量的溶液、糊剂和粉末可用于清洁义齿，它们的相对效果有不同的目的。常用的义齿清洁剂大致可分为机械清洁剂和化学清洁剂。调查显示，一些戴假牙的人难以令人满意地清洁他们的假牙，许多人戴着肮脏的假牙。由于滥用或滥用一系列已批准的义齿清洁方法或自行清洁方法(如使用家用漂白剂)，假牙基托材料普遍恶化，有时需要更换假牙。讨论了目前在全口义齿和部分义齿佩戴者中流行的清洁方法，并对推荐的义齿清洁方法提出了建议。还介绍了为评估患者对清洁程序、方法和所用材料的了解而进行的调查的结果。受访者使用了各种组合的清洁方法。这项调查的结果是，大量的人不知道如何令人满意地清洁他们的假牙，这与以前的调查结果是一致的。并对金属义齿和丙烯酸树脂义齿的清洁方法提出了建议。
Denture cleanliness is essential to prevent malodour, poor aesthetics and the accumulation of plaque/calculus with its deleterious effects on the mucosa. There are a large number of solutions, pastes and powders available for cleaning dentures with a variety of aims for their relative efficacies. Denture cleansers in common use can broadly be divided into those having mechanical or chemical effects. Surveys show that some denture wearers experience difficulty in cleaning their dentures satisfactorily and many wear dirty dentures. Replacement dentures are sometimes necessary due to general deterioration of the denture base material because of the misuse or abuse of a range of approved denture cleaning methods or do-it-yourself cleaning methods such as the use of household bleach. Current popular cleaning methods used among complete and partial denture wearers are discussed and advice is given on recommended methods of cleaning dentures. The results of a survey conducted to assess patients) knowledge of cleaning procedures and methods and materials used are also presented. Respondents used a variety of combinations of cleaning methods. The findings of this survey that a large number of people do not know how to clean their dentures satisfactorily are in agreement with those of previous surveys. Recommendations are given on suitable methods of cleaning both metal and acrylic resin dentures.
