Investigation of the Comparison of the Candida Albicans Adherence to Three Different Prosthetic Materials

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the adhesion of microorganisms to four different prosthetic esthetic materials. Experimental prosthetic materials are High-fused porcelain (Vita), Medium-fused porcelain (Vita) and Acrylic resin (Duropont); the microorganism that used was, C.albicans. For our study, the experimental models of 10mm radius and 1mm height, 10 prosthetic materials were prepared. The adhesion of microorganisms to sterilised samples are investigated for 24 hours at 37oC in liquid culture dish that fits to characteristics of proliferation of the microorganisms, the number of adherent cells on experimental models were calculated in solid culture dish after shaked in 100 ml saline and diluted.As a result of this study, it was determined that Acrylic resin had undergone more microorganisms adhesion when compared with High-fused porcelain and Medium-fused porcelain.
