Efficacy of an Oral Hygiene Regimen on Implant Supported, Removable Complete Denture: Effect on Gingival Tissue and Prosthesis: A Proof of Concept Study

This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning around implants that hold a full denture in the mouth. Different oral hygiene protocols will be compared. Areas to measure are gum tissue color and consistency, bleeding and cleanliness. A questionnaire will be provided at the end of the study. This is a proof of concept study.
