THE MICROBIAL "LANDSCAPE" OF THE DENTURE-BEARING AREA MUCOSA BEFORE AND AFTER THE PLACEMENT OF COMPLETE REMOVABLE DENTURES AND THE LOCAL IMMUNITY
Keywords:
The research assessed the qualitative and quantitative makeup of the oral microbiota in 12 edentulous individuals before to prosthodontic therapy and in 14 patients six months post-insertion of full dentures. The mean age of the patients was 71.6 pm 5.2 years. Thirteen age-matched volunteers served as the control group. Prior to sampling, the pH of combined saliva was assessed. The Ambjørnsen index was used to analyse plaque buildup on different denture surfaces to establish hygiene levels.Abstract
One of the main etiological factors affecting the oral ecosystem is the existence of teeth, whether whole or partial [1]. Specific habitats for microbial development and activity are found in dental fissures, carious cavities, root canals, gingival sulci, and dental plaque. The environmental circumstances for the oral microbiota undergo major modifications after partial or complete tooth loss and the subsequent installation of dental prosthesis [2].
The purpose of this study is to examine the oral microbiota of edentulous individuals both before to and six months after the implantation of full removable dentures.
