Efficacy of three hygienic protocols in reducing biofilm adherence to removable thermoplastic appliance.

Conclusions: This study highly recommends the use of a VBC protocol. Biofilm deposits on the RTA, especially on incisal edges and attachment dimples, could lead to inadequate tooth/RTA and attachment/RTA overlap and consequently impair tooth alignment.
