“The Effect of Three Different Denture Adhesives on the Growth of Micro-Organisms: in-Vivo Study.”
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aims to assess the effect of three different adhesive on the colonisation of micro-organisms in completely edentulous patients, by comparing colony counts of Candida species and staphylococcus in saliva of 60 patients, who were explained to use the denture without adhesives for first 14 days and then with adhesives for next 14 days. Serial dilutions were carried out upto 10-5 folds in a saline and were inoculated on to Sabouraud Dextrose agar medium and blood agar plates. All plates were incubated aerobically for 48 h at 37°C. They were then examined and isolated colonies were evaluated according to their morphology and pigment formation. Statistical analysis was done. Most types of the micro-organisms were not seen and could not be analysed statistically except Candida species. No statistically significant differences were detected between groups in saliva samples for polygrip- ultradent denture adhesives. While there is statistical significant difference were detected for Ultradent- Fixodent and Polygrip –Fixodent. By using the three adhesives , the study showed that ultradent promoted the growth of micro-organisms more than the other adhesives, while fixodent promoted the least growth of micro-organisms.
