A denture cleaner (also termed denture cleanser), is a cleaner used to clean dentures when they are out of the mouth. Their main use is to control the growth of micro-organisms on the dentures, especially ''Candida albicans'', thereby preventing denture-related stomatitis. When dentures are worn in the mouth, a biofilm develops which may be similar to dental plaque. It may become hardened and mineralized as dental calculus. Denture cleansers are also used to remove stains and other debris that may be caused by diet, tobacco use, drinking coffee, drinking tea, etc. Some chemical denture cleaners can come in cream and liquid format. Others come in powder, paste, or tablet format. Some chemical denture cleaners are effervescent and others are not. There are also mechanical denture cleaners such as denture brushes and ultrasonic denture cleaners that use ultrasonic cleaning. == Ingredients == Dilute sodium hypochlorite (i.e. mild bleach) is the main constituent of several brands of denture cleanser. Other ingredients include such chemicals as: * sodium bicarbonate - or baking soda, which alkalizes the water, cleaning the dentures. * citric acid - removes stains. * sodium perborate * sodium polyphosphate * potassium monopersulfate - cleaning and bleaching agent * EDTA 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「denture cleaner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
