**8.6 Removable denture**

Removable dentures and any device or bite guard used by the patient should be removed and cleaned after every meal to avoid bacteria, fungi, plaque and tartar growth. The oral mucosa covered by the prosthesis, including the palate, must be cleaned at least once a day with a soft toothbrush. Mechanical cleaning of prosthesis under running water with help of denture brush should be done both on outer and inner surfaces [3].
