Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2012, Vol 39, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: This study compared the retention of the Candida albicans and biofilm formation on natural teeth, porcelain and acrylic resin. Materials and methods: Samples are taken with the sterile ecuvion sticks from the buccal embrasures of the natural tooth, porcelain and acrylic. The biofilm production of candida reproducing strains was determined with microplate method. Samples are settled in 0.5 ml sterile phosphate buffered saline. Reproduction detected colonies defined to species in accordance with their macroscopic and microscopic features and germ tube test in microbiology laboratory. Results: There was significant differences for retention of Candida albicans and biofilm formation on the surface of tooth, porcelain and acrylic (p<0.05). Conclusion: Adherence of Candida albicans and biofilm formation on the porcelain significantly less than natural tooth and acrylic, and retention and biofilm formation on the tooth less than acrylic.
