Introduction

Growth in the aging population has resulted

in an increasing number of older persons

requiring dentures.
Proper cleansing of dentures is an essential
daily routine in order to ensure the safety
and satisfaction of the edentulous patient.
To maintain an esthetic, odor-free appliance.

Denture debris
Every surface in the oral cavity, natural or

synthetic, becomes covered within about 30

minutes with a 0.5-1.5 -thick precipitate of
salivary glycoprotein and immunoglobulin that
is termed "pellicle.

 Calculus is also readily stained by tobacco,

tea, coffee, certain medications (particularly

iron supplements), and numerous other
ingested materials.

Denture Cleanser
a variety of products designed to

safely remove stains, deposits, and

debris from the surfaces of dental
prostheses, by means of immersion
or brushing with a denture brush and
paste, toothpaste, or powder.

Denture cleanser,
hipochlorite
a chemical ingredient used in some

solutions to clean removable oral

prostheses. The active ingredient is
dilute sodium hypochlorite. It effectively
removes food, stains, and plaque, and is
readily available in household bleach; it
has a strong lingering scent and may
damage prostheses

Denture cleanser, alkaline

peroxide
a light-duty denture cleaner; active

ingredient is typically sodium perborate

or sodium percarbonate. Comes in tablet
or powder form; when combined with
water, it creates bubbles. Does not
effectively deal with calculus or darker
staining.

Denture cleanser, dilute

a chemical containing inorganic acids as
acid
its active ingredient; used to clean
prosthetic dental appliances in an
immersion regimen. Solutions range
include 3% to 5% hydrochloric acid or a
combination of phosphoric and
hydrochloric acids. Regular use of dilute
acids can damage any metal on the
prosthetic device.

an agent that is sometimes added to
immersion cleaning solutions, which
works by weakening polysaccharides
and plaque proteins.

SYARAT PEMBERSIH GIGI

TIRUAN

Non toxik, mudah dibersihkan, tidak

meninggalkan iritant
Mempunyai kemampuan melarutkan
deposit organic dan inorganic dari
denture
Tidak merusak bahan denture termasuk
denture base polymer dan alloy, gigi
akrilik dan gigi porselein, dan bahan
denture liner

Tidak merusak pakaian apabila

tumpah
mengenai pakaian
Stabil dalam penyimpanan
Bersifat bactericidal dan fungicidal

Sodium perborate mengurai

membentuk alkaline peroxide

solution, kemudian peroxide solution
melepaskan oksigen dan menghasil
kan buih yang dapat melepaskan
debris

5 % Sodium hypoclorites solution

(1 : 3 water)
Dilute bleach solution
Hypoclorite and glassy phosphate
(Calgon)
solution
Hypochlorite and glassy phosphate
solution
Dilute acids atau enzymes

 Simpan gigi tiruan dalam air untuk

mencegah perubahan dimensi dan distorsi

Jangan membersihkan gigi tiruan dalam air
panas karena mengakibatkan distorsi /
warpage
Hindari merendam gigi tiruan dalam chlorine
bleach karena menyebabkan perubahan
warna dan akan mengenai komponen logam
pada gigi tiruan sebagian korosi logam.

 Bersihkan gigi tiruan diatas gelas yang berisi

air atau kain yang dilipat supaya gigi tiruan

tidak patah apabila jatuh
Hindari abrasive toothpastes atau household
cleaner sebab akan menggores dan merusak
gigi tiruan

Danger in denture
cleanser
Symptoms of an allergic reaction
Irritation
Tissue damage,
Rash,
Hives,
Gum tenderness,
Breathing problems, and

Misuse of denture
cleansers
Some cleansers may list mouthwash as an
ingredient, but consumers should never chew,
swallow, or gargle with denture cleansers.
Dentures should be thoroughly rinsed with
water before they are placed in the mouth.

Conclusion
Dental professionals must have a current

knowledge of denture cleansing strategies in

order to maximize the service offered to
denture patients.
Care and cleaning of dentures is more than a
strictly esthetic concern

DENTURE ADHESIVE

Introduction:
The purpose of using denture adhesives.
Improved fit
Comfort
Improved chewing ability and confidence.

 Neutral or slightly basic pH

Minimal toxicity to the oral mucosa
Adhesive bond strength for 12 to 16 hours
Easier to clean off oral tissues
Easier to clean off denture
Less messy
More readily available in shops
Less expensive
Better taste and fit

Denture Adhesive
Denture adhesive is a non-toxic,

water-soluble material that is placed

between the denture and the tissues
to enhance the normal physiological
forces that hold dentures in place.
Dentures "adhere" to tissues because
saliva adheres to both the denture and
the tissue.

Denture Adhesive
Denture adhesive does a superior job of

adhering to both surfaces, thereby,

improving retention.
Dentures also "cohere" to tissues because
the film of saliva between tissue and
denture resists being pulled apart. But the
coherence of denture adhesive is far
greater than the coherence of saliva.

Denture adhesive juga digunakan :

Sebagai retensi selama pembuatan
gigi tiruan
Sebagai retensi gigi tiruan (misal gigi
tiruan sudah longgar ) dan obturator
oleh karena keterbatasan retensi
secara fisik
Sebagai media untuk aplikasi obat
pada mukosa rongga mulut

 Pemberian denture adhesive harus

dalam jumlah sedikit dahulu

kemudian disesuai kan
Efek denture adhesive berlangsung
sampai lebih dari 16 jam, tergantung
pada individu, jumlah saliva dalam
mulut, konsumsi makanan dan
minuman
Super poligrip harus diaplikasikan 15
30 menit sebelum makan

 Semua denture adhesive dapat

digunakan untuk gigi tiruan sebagian

karena tidak merusak bagian logam
dari gigi tiruan sebagian ( yaitu
connectors and clasps )
Denture adhesive tidak boleh
digunakan apabila oral hygiene jelek
atau alergi pada zat yang
terkandung dalam adhesives

To apply adhesive to your dentures:

1. Clean and dry your dentures.
2. Squeeze the tube from the top and
apply adhesive in dashes or strips (as
shown), not too close to denture edges.
3. Rinse mouth before inserting
dentures.
4. Press dentures in place, hold firmly
and bite
down for a few seconds.

DENTURE ADHESIVES mengandung unsur

pokok sebagai berikut :
Gelatin, pectin atau gum, akan
mengembang dan menjadi lebih lunak
dengan adanya air
Cellulose materials sebagai thickening
agents
Hexachlorophene atau antibacterial agents
lain
Sodium lauryl sulphate untuk mengurangi
surface tension
Filler misal magnesium oxide
Flavoring agents misal peppermint oil

Mode of action:
Swell to obliterate the space between

the base of denture and the oral mucosa.

Influence:
Increase the coefficient of surface tension
of the fluid
Forms a viscous gel on contact with water
Increases cohesiveness of the film of
saliva by increasing viscosity of the film.
