Abstract:
砄bjective:To compare the adherent ability of Candida albicans on the surface of two kinds of silicone elastomer used as prosthodontic materials and to study the factors affecting the adherence.Methods: Candida albicans were cultured on the surface of SY 1 and MDXA 4210 with or without saliva acquired pellicle for 10 min, then the number of the bacteria was counted.Results:With or without saliva acquired pellicle,the number (1?10 3/mm 2) of C.albicans on SY 1 was 24.5?0.88 and 2.0?0.47 respectively( P 0.05 ).Conclusion:There is little difference between the adherent ability of C.albicans on the two kind of silicone elastomer.Saliva acquired pellicle can decrease the adherence.
