ABSTRACT
A literature review was performed including studies that evaluated the use of cleaning protocols for removable dentures through questionnaires, clinical trials, randomized clinical trials, and systematic reviews. Twenty studies were included and the results showed that bad preservation of the prostheses is mainly due to low knowledge about cleaning habits and methods. Also, a wide variety of effective cleaning methods were presented. However, there is no standard protocol for all patients and it should be customized for each patient. It is important to highlight that dentists should give adequate instructions concerning maintenance and hygiene of the prosthesis.
RESUMO
Uma revisão da literatura foi realizada incluindo estudos que avaliaram o uso de protocolos de limpeza para próteses removíveis através de questionários, ensaios clínicos, estudos clínicos randomizados e revisões sistemáticas. Vinte estudos foram incluídos e os resultados mostraram que a má preservação das próteses é principalmente devido ao baixo conhecimento sobre os hábitos e métodos de limpeza. Além disso, foram apresentados uma grande variedade de métodos de limpeza eficazes. No entanto, não existe um protocolo padrão para todos os pacientes, devendo ser personalizado para cada paciente. É importante destacar que os dentistas devem dar instruções adequadas quanto a manutenção e higiene das próteses.
