The effectiveness of seven denture cleansers on tea stain removal from PMMA acrylic resin.

Abstract

Denture cleansing agents containing hypochlorite and Boots Denture Cleaning Powder (constituents not stated by the manufacturer) exhibited the ability to remove stain from the denture base materials most effectively. Irregularities and porosities present on the denture surface played a major role in reducing the activity of denture cleaning agents and hence increased stain and plaque retention.
