\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Advise the patient to have their removable prosthesis professionally cleaned by a dentist or dental professional annually. Ultrasonic cleansers should be used (if available) to minimize biofilm accumulation over time\u00a0(Conditional recommendation).<\/b><\/b><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Advise the patient to apply denture adhesive in small, sufficient amounts (three or four pea-sized dollops) on each denture to enhance retention and stability of the prostheses (Conditional recommendation).<\/b><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Advise the patient to completely remove denture adhesive from both the prosthesis and the oral cavity daily\u00a0(Good practice statement).<\/b><\/b><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Consider arrangement of three-month periodic visits to evaluate the fit and stability of the dentures if extended use of denture adhesives is required\u00a0(Good practice statement).<\/b><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Consider arrangement of an annual follow-up visit with a prosthodontist for maintenance of the removable prosthesis and evaluation of both soft and hard oral tissues\u00a0(Good practice statement).<\/b><\/p>
