In addition, by forming the first and second ultraviolet irradiation units on each of the first and second extensions, a portion adjacent to the inlet and the inlet and a portion adjacent to the outlet and the outlet can be sterilized, respectively, so that the user can visually inlet and outlet. If you check, it can improve the reliability of hygiene management.

In addition, it is possible to improve the sterilization efficiency of dentures by supplying microbubbles with ozone water to the washing and sterilizing portion through the microbubble generation unit and removing contaminants adsorbed on the dentures through the microbubbles.

In particular, when microbubbles are supplied to the washing sterilization unit, normal bubbles are generated through the air injection unit, and microbubbles are ruptured through the normal bubbles to form a smaller size, thereby improving sterilization efficiency.

In addition, by forming an exhaust portion in a portion adjacent to the sterilizing water supply unit, when the denture cleaning and sterilization operation is completed, the ozone smell of the sterilizing water can be removed by removing the ozone remaining in the sterilizing water supply unit through the exhaust unit.

Furthermore, by forming the first internal third opening and closing portion in the washing sterilizing portion, selectively opening and closing each of the parts connected to each of the first to fourth extension portions, thereby controlling the introduction of denture and the introduction of sterilizing water, Ozone odor can be prevented from flowing through each of the inlet and outlet.

Furthermore, by forming an air injection unit that is formed in a portion adjacent to the outlet of the second extension and blows hot air toward the denture, water formed on the surface of the denture by sterilizing water before the denture is discharged through the outlet can be removed. have.
