Abstract: A denture has a body with a plurality of concavities in a first surface of the body—the first surface, in use, abutting soft tissue of the mouth. A plurality of through holes extend from the first surface to an opposite, second, surface.

Abstract: A sanitizer for bedding has an irradiation chamber with a light support mounted for reciprocation within the chamber. A light for radiating into the chamber is supported by said light support. A bedding support is mounted so as to be at least partially withdrawable from the chamber. The light support may be mounted medially within said chamber and the bedding support may extend on either side of the light support.

Abstract: A method of operating a facility having beds involves removing bedding (such as pillows, bedspreads, and blankets) from a bed of a facility after departure of a user and irradiating bedding with narrow spectrum radiation to obtain sanitary bedding. The bed is then made up with the sanitized bedding. A sanitizer to effect the method comprises an irradiation chamber and at least one narrow spectrum light for emitting into the chamber. A bedding support is mounted for reciprocation within said chamber between a first terminal position proximate a base of the chamber and a second terminal position part way between the base of the chamber and a top of the chamber. With this arrangement and the top of the chamber acting as a backstop, the sanitizer is particularly suited for sanitizing pillows which may be placed on the bedding support and repeatedly compressed as the bedding support reciprocates.
