A new denture plaque index effectively quantifies denture plaque in patients with denture stomatitis. This simple, reliable, and reproducible method aids in clinical assessment and management of oral health conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Health
  • Dental Biomaterials
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Denture stomatitis is a common oral condition affecting denture wearers.
  • Accurate assessment of denture plaque is crucial for managing denture stomatitis.
  • Existing methods for plaque quantification may lack simplicity or reproducibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel denture plaque index utilizing dye disclosure.
  • To assess the index's effectiveness in differentiating plaque levels between patients with denture stomatitis and healthy controls.
  • To determine the intra-examiner and inter-examiner reproducibility of the index.

Main Methods:

  • A dye-disclosing method was employed to assess denture plaque.
  • The study included 24 patients with Type II denture stomatitis and 17 healthy controls.

  • Two examiners evaluated plaque scores for reproducibility assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients with denture stomatitis exhibited significantly higher denture plaque scores compared to controls.
    • The denture plaque index demonstrated high reproducibility, with 92% to 96% agreement between examiners.
    • The index proved effective in quantitatively distinguishing plaque levels in the studied groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The evaluated denture plaque index is a simple, reliable, and reproducible tool for clinical use.
    • This index allows for quantitative assessment of denture plaque, aiding in the diagnosis and management of denture stomatitis.
    • The method is economical and efficient for rapid clinical application.
