This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the effect of the use of the hydroalcoholic extract of P. granatum Linné, commonly known as pomegranate, as a hygienizing solution of artificial teeth in acrylic resin used in removable dentures after a simulated period of one and a half years of immersion. Thirty specimens composed of upper central incisors in acrylic resin used in the manufacture of removable dental prostheses were used. The specimens were randomly distributed into 3 groups (n = 10): distilled water (Negative Control), hydroalcoholic extract of pomegranate at 6.7% and alkaline peroxide with enzyme (Positive Control). Before immersion, after one and a half years of immersion, color and mass analyzes were performed to identify possible changes in surfaces. The data were submitted to the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and analyzed by means of a 1-way ANOVA statistical test followed by Tukey post-hoc post-test for color analysis and 2-way ANOVA for the evaluation of pasta. There were no statistically significant differences for the variable mass. However, the pomegranate experimental group presented a statistically significant color change in relation to the others (p> 0.05). More studies are needed to better evaluate the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of P. granatum to 6.7% as a dental hygiene solution.
