Improper cleaning of dentures promotes the formation and adhesion of biofilm, which is one of the main causes for the failure of these prostheses. This biofilm is similar to that of the dental biofilm and is a source of opportunistic microorganisms that may cause local infections like denture stomatit is to systemic infections like aspiration pneumonia, COPD, Bacterial Endocarditis and gastrointestinal infections.
