Abstract
Prosthetic treatment with removable dentures is long- lasting process, which requires from patients motivation and awareness about oral hygiene and proper maintantenance of dental prosthesis.

Knowledge of negative influence of dental plaque, denture plaque and intraoral infections on oral and whole organism health is essential. Forcing patients, the role of oral hygiene and the need for follow- up care is an integral part of the treatment. Realization of this conditions enable specialists to get positive therapeutic effects. In addition, availability of numerous hygiene products provides effective protection against the negative effects of microbial infections. This paper presents cases of prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with unsatisfactory hygiene of removable prosthetic appliances. New dentures were prepared and focused on thorough education about appropriate handling and good oral hygiene maintenance. Improved hygiene and patients’ health awareness were observed.<br/><br/>
