[Clinical evaluation of simple hygienic measures for wearers of dental prostheses in a nursing home].
The simple treatment of dentures with bacteriostatic drugs withoug any additional treatment may result in a considerable improvement of inflamed mucosa on which a denture is resting. The question as to whether hygiene or other factors (e. g. trauma) are more important with regard to the etiology of denture stomatitis cannot be answered entirely by this study. Continuation of studies on the various causes of denture stomatitis and searching for improvements in its therapy by short and long-term investigations are recommended.
