Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The evaluation of the ease of removal of the adhesives will be verified by weighing in a precision balance in three times, in the baseline and after 15 days of the use of the different adhesives. on the surface. The second weighing (M2) will be performed after the removal of the adhesive by ultrasound (5 min.). The mass 3 (M3) will correspond to the weight of the prosthesis after brushing to remove the adhesive.;Evaluation of the microbial load of the prostheses before and after the use of the adhesives will be performed by conventional culture methods from the phosphate buffered saline biofilm collected after ultrasound. The conventional method will provide the number of colony forming units (CFU) of the following microorganisms: candida spp., Gran-negatives and total aerobic.;Breath assessment before and after the use of adhesives. The oral breath and the odor of the prosthesis will be collected by digital halimeter at baseline consultations and 15 days after the use of the patches. | — |
