In this one-hour course, you will gain essential knowledge about the various types of dentures, the microbiology of denture surfaces, and evidence-based practices for effective denture hygiene.

- Identify common harmful microorganisms such as Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus that colonize dentures and explain their potential impact on systemic and oral health.
- Demonstrate proper denture hygiene techniques, including brushing, soaking, and storage, using evidence-based tools and products.
