We investigated the hygiene of 13 overdentures with implant abutments. Plaque was checked with a plaque disclosing agent and Candida albicans was detected by Stomastat®.
1. A little plaque was detected on the labial side and the interior of the bottom side of the cap on the implant bodies. However, much plaque was detected on the lingual side, the soldering parts and the bottom of the connetting bar.
2. Much plaque adhered to the clip parts at the mucosal side of the denture.
3. Candida albicans were detected on the bottom of the connecting bar and on the parts of the clips at the mucosal side of the denture. It is important to clean the dentures as well as the implant abutments, because denture stomatitis can occur in the clip parts with Candida albicans.
