Pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms of denture plaque – literature review

Journal Title: Prosthodontics - Year 2018, Vol 68, Issue 1

Abstract

Removable dentures, which restore oral cavity lost tissues, regain functionality and aesthetics of the dentition, constitute a foreign body that promotes the accumulation of microorganisms in multi-species ecosystems called biofilms. Biofilms are a living environment for many species of bacteria and fungi that may be potentially pathogenic. This document reviews and characterizes selected pathogenic microorganisms that have been isolated from the surface of prostheses.<br/><br/>
