denture stomatitis in denture wearers' patients, and to know the relation between
denture age, denture hygiene, and denture cleansing with denture stomatitis.
Results of the present study showed that poor denture hygiene was associated with
high percentage of denture stomatitis.

times/ day denture cleansing.
