Reynoutria elliptica Extract in Denture Cleansers: Effective Antimicrobial Protection

Posted: September 4, 2025
A study evaluated the use of Reynoutria elliptica extract in denture cleansing materials for antimicrobial efficacy, biocompatibility, and impact on surface properties. The extract showed significant antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans without affecting surface microhardness, roughness, or color stability of acrylic resin. Biocompatibility tests indicated no cytotoxic effects. This research suggests that denture cleansers containing R. elliptica extract can effectively protect against microbes while maintaining denture aesthetics and structural integrity. The findings support the development of natural and safe denture cleansers for optimal dental care.
