Surface adherence of Candida Albicans to different Polymethylmethacrylate Denture Base Resins: An in-vitro-study.
Abstract
The Objective of this study is to check the adherence of Candida albicans on the different types of Polymethylemethacrylate denture base resins and to compare the adherence of cells among the various groups. In-vitro adhesion assays on heat cured (Trevalon light, DPI, & Lucitone reinforced), light cured & self cured acrylic resins specimens using the type strain of C. albicans (192887g). The adherence observed only on the intaglio surface of the specimens. Significantly greater adhesion was seen in DPI self cure polymethylemethacrylate followed by light cure polymethylemethacrylate. Adhesion was low in Lucitone199 heat cure denture base material, followed by DPI heat cure denture base resin, which was followed by Trevalon Clear heat cure denture base resin. Lucitone 199(reinforced) had the least adherence of C. albicans.
