Abstract

This paper re-visits the need for patients or their carers to maintain as low a level of denture biofilm as possible. It notes that the handling of dentures is unpleasant to carers and suggests a method of reducing this contact to a minimum but yet allow efficient cleaning by means of brushing. It also highlights the potential damage that can occur due to mishandling or accident. The denture box acts as a safe storage unit and finally, it suggests that its 'footprint' allows accurate recovery in an institution where dentures can be inadvertently mingled.
