Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine the most effective hygiene protocol for reducing the biofilm present in upper complete dentures of hospitalized patients, by determining the area of coverage of prosthetic biofilm and the count of viable microbial colonies from the finding of a significant reduction in the percentage area of biofilm visible on the internal surface of the denture and the number of viable microorganisms (CFU/mL) in non-selective culture medium. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondly, the adoption of an easy, efficient, affordable, and applicable protocol in a hospital environment for the hygiene of removable acrylic dentures can result in shorter hospital stays for both the prevention of infections associated with the prosthetic biofilm and the reduction of the virulence course. of a previously installed lung disease, leading to lower hospitalization costs. | — |
