RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Polident 5 minutes@ (Block and Drug Corp.) denture cleanser in reducing V olatile Sulphur Compounds (VSC) concentration, estimated by Halimeter@ (Interscan Corp.) and the bactericide action by Blood Ágar and MacConkey culture, besides evaluating the correlation among the denture cleaning dexterity (DC) and the biofilm index (BI). 19 volunteers were selected with age range 62 to 86 years, wearing at least the upper denture. The analysis was conducted in two phases (P): PI: BI evaluation, volunteers DC, determination of VSC concentration and the biofilm was collected ITom the old denture before the use of the treatment protocol (To), and after 7, 14 and 28 days of continuous cleanser use (TI, T2 and T3); Pu: new denture was installed, VSC concentration was determinated and biofilm was collected at 30, 60 and 90 days with daily use ofthe denture cleanser (Tu, T2.2, T3.3). The VSC concentration results showed statistical difference between To and results did not show statistical difference at Phase I and, at Phase 11, there was statistical difference between alI the times, by paired-T test (p<0.05): To: 3,343; TI: 2,223; T2: 2,923; denture cleanser was not efficient to remove the old denture biofilm, did not prevent the new denture biofilm and did not reduce patients VCS levels
