Description

Many bacteria cover denture surfaces as denture plaque in the form of a biofilm, especially dentures of geriatric hospital inpatients. Dentures may act as a reservoir of microorganisms which cause opportunistic infection such as aspiration pneumonia. Oral health care, including denture plaque control could prevent such infection. Overviews of Candida spp. and Helicobacter pylori in denture plaque and the approach to denture plaque control for the prevention of systemic infection are presented in this report.
