Colonization and Deterioration of Soft Denture Lining Materials in vivo
Abstract - Colonization of denture lining materials by microorganisms including Candida albicans can result in deterioration of the material, as observed by a previous in vitro study by the authors. The current in vivo study monitored the microbial colonisation and penetration of ï¬ve types of denture liners and their topography over six months. There was no signiï¬cant difference in the microbial colonisation on the denture liners and no penetration observed, indicating a slower rate of deterioration of materials in vivo. However, the surface roughness of all materials increased during use, which might alter susceptibility to subsequent microbial colonisation.
KEY WORDS: Denture soft lining materials, Candida albicans, colonization, surface roughness.
