RESUMO
With the increase of life expectation there is a greater number of people denture wearers. However, there isnt any protocol properly established about good oral hygiene/ disinfection these dentures by patient after its installation. The aim of this survey was evaluate the antimicrobial action of different hygiene methods to full maxillary dentures in order to establish some efficient protocol to maintenance of dentures and with this to prevent from future denture stomatitis. In this way, the antimicrobial action of a physical-chemical agent, effervescent tablets and of a physical agent, the ultrasonic were tested against Candida sp yeast which are frequently associated with denture stomatitis and against mutans streptococci which are responsible for consolidation and progression of some types of biofilm. 113 individuals who took part in this study were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups: A - Control (25 individuals): They just brushed their dentures with water, three times per day; B - (29 individuals): used of one effervescent tablet per day during five minutes; C - (28 individuals): the same of the group A, with exception of that after 21 days they had had their dentures submitted to ultrasonic for 15 minutes; D - (31 individuals): the same of the group B, with exception of that after 21 days they had had their dentures submitted to ultrasonic for 15 minutes. All procedures were carried out for 21 days and all groups brushed the dentures with dental brushes of soft bristles and water. The samples of dentures material were collected at baseline before any treatment after 21 days of treatment listed above. Prior to the beginning of these hygiene procedures, all dentures received professional prophylactic brushing in order to remote entirely the biofilm existent. The samples were collected by brushing the dentures with PBS, and sent to seriate decimal dilution and plated in BHIA (Brain Heart Infusion Agar), in Chromagar-Candida and in SB20 (Agar Sacarose Bacitracina) to quantification total aerobics, Candida sp and mutans streptococci, respectively. After incubation in aerobiosis for 24 hours, in aerobiosis for 48 hours and in microaerofilic for 48-72 hours, respectively. The outcomes among the treatments were compared by species, using ANOVA test to one factor of variation; or using Kruskal-Wallis test (=0,05), depending on adherence to normal distribution. It was verified that the antimicrobial action of the three treatments tested (effervescent tablets, the ultrasonic and the association between effervescent tablets and ultrasonic) werent statistically different of the Control (brushing and water), against C. albicans (ANOVA, P=0,761), C. tropicalis (Kruskal-Wallis, P=0,944) e. C. glabrata (Kruskal-Wallis, P=0,803). However, the effervescent tablets treatment and the association between effervescent tablets and ultrasonic were highly efficient in relation to mutans streptococci (ANOVA, P<0,001). As for to total aerobics, the treatment with effervescent tablets showed a significant antimicrobial action, whereas the association between effervescent tablets and ultrasonic showed a moderate action against these microorganisms (ANOVA, P=0,011).
