1️⃣ Why compare these two methods?
Daily care of dentures is recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), which recommends:
-
Mechanical cleaning
-
Soaking in an appropriate solution
-
Thorough rinsing
Effervescent tablets rely on a chemical action.
The ultrasonic cleaner works by cavitation (micro-implosive bubbles that detach deposits).

2️⃣ Effectiveness against plaque and bacteria
The Cochrane Collaboration indicates that the combination of mechanical + chemical methods improves plaque removal.
I cannot confirm that a single method is systematically superior in every clinical case.
However:
| Criterion | Ultrasound | Tablets |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning micro-areas | High | Moderate |
| Chemical action | No | Yes |
| Action time | 3–5 min | 10–20 min |
3️⃣ Which solution to favor?
Recommended optimal approach:
➡️ Regular ultrasonic cleaning
➡️ Occasional chemical supplement if necessary
