Formation of plaque on the surfaces of dentures is a common problem among denture wearers. A study was conducted to determine the distribution of plaque on dentures. The plaque material was disclosed with a dye solution and measured with a modified Quigley-Hein scale. A photographic method was used to determine the distribution of plaque on the dentures of a group of complete-denture wearers. The effectiveness of a perborate soak-type cleanser was also measured by studying the precleaned and postcleaned states of the denture. Denture plaque was more evident on the fitting surfaces of the dentures than on areas of the flange, teeth, and palate. The use of the soak-type cleanser alone may not be completely effective for the control of heavy plaque.
假牙表面形成菌斑是假牙佩戴者中常见的问题。开展了一项研究以确定假牙上菌斑的分布情况。用一种染料溶液使菌斑物质显色，并使用改良的奎格利-海因量表进行测量。采用摄影方法来确定一组全口假牙佩戴者假牙上菌斑的分布。还通过研究假牙清洁前后的状态来测定一种过硼酸盐浸泡型清洁剂的效果。假牙菌斑在假牙的贴合面上比在边缘、牙齿和腭部区域更明显。单独使用浸泡型清洁剂可能无法完全有效控制严重的菌斑。
