The Effect of Disclosing Agent Color Stained on Removable Complete Denture Effect on Perception Among Older People with Visual Impairment
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate how different colors of disclosing agents affect the perception of removable complete dentures in older people with visual impairment.
Materials and Methods: The removable dentures were used to create an artificial plaque on both the tissue surface and the artificial tooth side. The red color group (Erythrosin), green color group (Fast green FCF), and blue color group (Brilliant blue FCF) stains were compared to a control group that did not undergo plaque staining. The sample size of this study was 10 older people with visual impairment.
Results: When compared to the control group, there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) in the green and blue group plaques' visibility.
Conclusion: A green or blue color group of disclosing agents was recommended for staining on removable complete dentures. As a result of a color group that help older people, it enables individuals with visual impairments to see more clearly and allows for more efficient cleaning of removable complete dentures.
