Abstract: Denture hygiene behavior is an important factor in the success of denture treatment because it has a close relationship with attitude, knowledge, and action of denture wearers. Improper maintance of denture hygiene can cause problems to oral health, especially in removable denture wearers. Gingiva is often used as an indicator of periodontal diseases. This study was aimed to obtain the denture hygiene behavior, gingival status, and the relationship between these two conditions among partial removal acrylic-based denture wearers at Wawalintoan, West Tondano. This was a descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design performed on 68 respondents wearing partial removal acrylic-based dentures obtained by using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaire of denture hygiene behavior and examination of gingival index. The results showed that the respondents had good knowledge, attitude, and action of dental hygiene with an average score of 453 (66.6%). The gingival status was categorized as mild in 39 people (57.4%). The relationship between hygiene maintance and gingival status of the respondents analyzed by using the chi-square test obtained a P-value of 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between denture hygiene behavior and gingival status of partial removable denture wearers.
