A comparative study for plaque removing efficacy between toothpaste, liquid handwashing soap, and two chemical-soak denture cleansers (clinsodent denture cleansing powder and fittydent denture cleansing tablet).
A total of 140 healthy complete denture patients were selected and checked for denture cleansing using toothpaste, liquid handwashing soap, and two chemical denture cleansers: Clinsodent powder and fittydent tablets. Cleansing with plain water was kept as control for twenty patients.
The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed ranks test for checking the efficacy. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparing the plaque removing efficacies of each denture cleanser used in the study. All four denture cleansers were significantly effective in removing plaque when compared with plain water, but there was no significant difference among them.
There was no significant difference among action of four denture cleansers used in this study. Thus we can infer that patients can use liquid handwashing soap or commercial products to overcome disadvantages of toothpastes. Recommendation from the results of this study is the use of liquid handwashing soap for cleansing after every meal and soaking of the denture in commercial denture cleanser during the night.
比较牙膏、洗手液和两种化学浸泡型假牙清洁剂（克林索登假牙清洁粉和菲蒂登假牙清洁片）的除菌斑效果。
共选取140名佩戴全口义齿的健康患者，使用牙膏、洗手液和两种化学假牙清洁剂（克林索登粉末和菲蒂登片剂）对义齿清洁情况进行检查。20名患者用清水清洁作为对照。
采用Wilcoxon符号秩检验分析数据以检查效果。Kruskal-Wallis检验用于比较本研究中使用的每种假牙清洁剂的除菌斑效果。与清水相比时，所有四种假牙清洁剂在去除菌斑方面均具有显著效果，但它们之间没有显著差异。
本研究中使用的四种假牙清洁剂的作用没有显著差异。因此我们可以推断，患者可以使用洗手液或商业产品来克服牙膏的缺点。根据本研究结果建议，每餐饭后使用洗手液清洁，并在夜间将假牙浸泡在商业假牙清洁剂中。
