Evaluation Of Anti-Candidal Effect Of Heat Cure Denture Base Resin Modified With Aluminium Oxide Powder: An In Vitro Study
Journal Title: National Journal of Medical and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background:Denture stomatitis is a common condition in geriatric denture wearing patients, if failed to manage may lead to clinical failure of dentures due to non usage of dentures by the affected patients. Aim:This study was done to evaluate anti-candidal effect of heat cure denture base resin modified with aluminium oxide powder. Material and method: 48 samples each were processed using normal acrylic resin (group A) with conventional water bath technique, modified acrylic resin with 5%, 10% and 15% aluminium oxide powder (group B,C and D) processed by conventional water bath technique and evaluated for anti-candidal effect and microbial assay was calculated for the reference C. albicans strains by agar diffusion method for the incubation period of 24 h. Result:group C and D displayed more anti-candidal effect compared to control group. Conclusion: Anti-candidal effect of aluminium oxide modified heat cure denture base resin is more than conventional denture base group. This property can be employed in heat cure denture bases to control candidal growth in denture patients.
