Denture plaque is not limited merely to food debris and dental deposits, oral bacteria and their products are also involved. These are known to cause denture stomatitis. Denture wearers, however, are not fully informed of the necessity of plaque control. An examination by questionaire therefore was made on their understanding of denture plapue and the status of denture plaque control practice among denture wearers. In addition, the effects of denture brushes and denture cleanser were examined. The results were as follows : In spite of an overwhelming number of the denture wearers who were annoyed by smears and deposits on their dentures, many of them never received any instruction on cleaning methods for the denture. Those who did not take care of their dentures daily counted for 20%. As for the means of denture cleaning, most of them used ordinary tooth brushes. Very few of them have ever used denture brushes and denture cleanser. The region difficult for denture plaque to deposit was the palatal area of the upper denture and denture brushes were very effective for this area. The regions easy for denture plaque to deposit and difficult to remove denture plaque were the alveolar ridge area of the upper denture and the basal area of the lower denture. Denture brushes were effective and the use of denture cleanser greatly increased the effect of removing denture plaque.
