About denture boxes
A box is a dry case used to hold or carry a denture or other appliance. The CDC states that dental prostheses and appliances are potential sources for cross-contamination and should be handled so that they do not expose staff, patients or the office environment to infectious agents. When a laboratory has disinfected an appliance, the CDC states the item should be placed in a tamper-evident container before it goes back to the dental office.
A denture cup or box is the container a removable denture sits in when it is out of the mouth. The ADA states that placing a denture in water, or in a denture cleanser solution, when it is not being worn helps it keep its shape, stay pliable and not dry out. The ADA also states that dentures should never be placed in hot or boiling water, which could warp them.
Cleanser tablets are dropped into warm water to make an effervescent solution that the denture is placed in, so the container holds the soak as well as the denture. The ADA notes that a denture which is not cleaned properly accumulates biofilm, which can contribute to denture-related stomatitis.
How cups and boxes differ
- Denture Cups — Made to hold liquid, for a soak at the chairside or the bedside.
- Denture Boxes — A case for keeping or carrying an appliance, which for a laboratory return is a tamper-evident container.
What to look at when choosing a denture cup or box
Whether it holds liquid: a soak needs a container that will take water or cleanser solution.
