[Candida albicans adhesion to plastics during correction of removable dentures]

Colonisation of denture soft lining materials by Candida albicans can result in clinical problems. The presence of Candida albicans on the upper fitting surface of the denture is a major causative factor in denture-associated chronic atrophic candidosis (denture stomatitis). The fitting surface of denture can act as a reservoir of Candida albicans. The goal of our experiment was to determine of candidal adherence to two soft lining materials -- Ufi gel C temporary and Ufi gel P permanent. Results of experiment show that adherence of Candida albicans to the Ufi gel C temporary was significantly move than for Ufi gel P permanent.
