Abstract
Denture cleansers have been widely used in prosthodontics for cleaning and maintaining dentures. However, little is known about dentist’s knowledge, awareness and experience of denture cleansers. Denture wearers would benefit greatly from a dental professional’s guidance regarding use of dental cleansers.

Statistical analyses were adopted to draw logical and scientific inferences. The
