Explanation: E) Daily removal allows bearing tissues to rest and allows the tongue and saliva to stimulate and cleanse the tissue. Failure to remove can lead to alveolar ridge resorption, stomatitis, candidiasis and infections. Regular examinations can ensure proper fit and integrity of denture. Diet selection can help adjustment of denture limitations. Self-care of oral soft tissue helps prevent candidiasis and stomatitis. During this time, irritation or changes in tissues can be noted.
