While it would appear that denture surfaces alone become colonized by microorganisms, this study showed that the porosity of denture material allows for contamination throughout the entire denture. Further, the numerous opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms found in this study were unexpected and are known to produce not only substantial oral infections, but also systemic diseases.
虽然看起来仅义齿表面会被微生物定植，但本研究表明，义齿材料的孔隙会导致整个义齿受到污染。此外，本研究中发现的大量机会性和致病性微生物出乎意料，已知它们不仅会引发严重的口腔感染，还会导致全身性疾病。
