The aim of the study was to examine the influence of denture hygiene on the development and intensity of denture stomatitis and traumatic ulcers and their relationship to age, gender, educational level, smoking status, age of the denture, denture hygiene habits and denture-wearing behavior. The study population comprised 310 complete denture (CD) wearers (159 males and 151 females) aged 60-85 living in Kirikkale, Turkey. Denture hygiene habits were assessed and recorded, and any relationships between denture hygiene habits and the condition of oral tissue were assessed. The majority (48.4%) of participants reported cleaning their dentures with a toothbrush and toothpaste and 45.2% with a toothbrush only. Less than half (44.8%) removed their dentures overnight. Stomatitis was observed in 35.8% and traumatic ulcers in 29% of patients. A positive relationship was observed between poor denture hygiene habits and the presence of denture-related stomatitis and traumatic ulcers. The degree of denture hygiene was significantly associated with age, sex, education, general health status, smoking status, self-perception of halitosis, overnight denture removal and denture immersion habits.
本研究的目的是探讨义齿卫生对义齿性口炎和创伤性溃疡的发生及严重程度的影响，以及它们与年龄、性别、教育程度、吸烟状况、义齿使用年限、义齿卫生习惯和佩戴行为之间的关系。研究对象为居住在土耳其基尔卡莱、年龄在60 - 85岁之间的310名全口义齿佩戴者（159名男性和151名女性）。评估并记录义齿卫生习惯，评估义齿卫生习惯与口腔组织状况之间的任何关系。大多数参与者（48.4%）报告使用牙刷和牙膏清洁义齿，45.2%仅使用牙刷。不到一半（44.8%）的人夜间取下义齿。35.8%的患者观察到口炎，29%的患者观察到创伤性溃疡。义齿卫生习惯不良与义齿相关口炎和创伤性溃疡的存在之间存在正相关关系。义齿卫生程度与年龄、性别、教育程度、总体健康状况、吸烟状况、口臭自我认知、夜间义齿摘除和义齿浸泡习惯显著相关。
