Evaluation of the effectiveness of cleaning tablets for the care of removable laminar dentures by patients with diabetes type 2
The article presents the results of comprehensive clinical study of the effectiveness of the use of special hygienic care for removable partial dentures with klammern fixation by patients with diabetes type 2. The study involved 57 people aged 48 to 67 years with duration of diabetes 6.8±1.7 years missing more than 6 teeth on one jaw. During orthopedic rehabilitation for patients of the experimental group it was recommended to use special brushes for cleaning dentures and active denture cleaner tablets. Patients of the comparison group continued to observe the traditional guidelines for oral hygiene and removable prosthetic constructions. During the clinical trial hygiene and gingival indices were recorded and the hygienic condition of dentures bases was evaluated. The analysis of the dynamics of the studied indices within three months after the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients in the experimental group did not reveal their significant increase, while in the comparison group there was an increase of indices in 1.4-times with expressed number of prosthetic plaque.
