Both the cleaning and care of the prosthesis are fundamental for maintaining its quality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to show the methods of cleaning and care the patient needs to take as regards the prosthesis and adjacent tissue, starting with correct instruction and training by the professional. It has been verified that among the materials for fabricating maxillofacial prostheses, silicone was considered the major retainer of microorganisms on its surface. Therefore, for cleaning prostheses, the use of water and neutral soap, as well as chlorhexidine, is recommended. As regards care of the adjacent tissues, it is recommended to remove the prosthesis before going to sleep, in addition to washing the prosthesis receptor tissues with water and neutral soap or with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. Whereas for the mucosal surfaces of the ophthalmic cavity, cleaning with filtered and boiled water or physiological solution at least 3 times a day is recommended.
义齿的清洁和护理对于维持其质量至关重要。因此，本研究的目的是展示患者在义齿及相邻组织方面需要采取的清洁和护理方法，首先由专业人员进行正确的指导和培训。已经证实，在制造颌面义齿的材料中，硅胶被认为是其表面微生物的主要留存物。因此，建议使用水、中性肥皂以及洗必泰清洁义齿。至于相邻组织的护理，建议在睡觉前取下义齿，此外用水和中性肥皂或用过氧化氢和水的混合物清洗义齿承托组织。而对于眼腔的黏膜表面，建议每天至少用过滤并煮沸的水或生理盐水清洗3次。
