Antifungal effects of eugenol on Candida albicans adherence to denture polymers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study's objective is to assess the adherence of C. albicans in different types of denture polymers and the effectiveness of eugenol and commercialized denture cleansers in the removal of C. albicans. Three types of denture base polymers (Lucitone^® 199 (High-Impact PMMA), Impact^® (conventional PMMA) and Eclipse^® (UDMA)) and two hard denture reline materials (Kooliner^® and Tokuyama^® Rebase II Fast) were used in this study.

Methods

Three hundred samples were prepared (6 × 2 mm disc shape) and divided into five groups of denture polymers (n = 60) and further subjected into five treatment groups (Polident^®, Steradent, distilled water, eugenol 5-minutes, and eugenol 10-min). Three
