In vitro Analysis of Attachment of Candida albicans to Denture Base Acrylic Resins Fabricated by Three Different Methods

Abstract

Advancement in CAD/CAM processes, digital dentistry, and acrylic resin materials has provided time-efficient and cost-effective ways to fabricate complete dentures. 3D-printed dental resins, and their unique processing techniques, are relatively new in concept to dentistry. Biocompatibility properties of printed resins, specifically pathological microbial adhesion to their surfaces, are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to compare the biofilm forming capacity of Candida albicans to dentureres in surfaces fabricated by conventional heat processing, CAD/CAM milled, and 3D-printed manufacturing methods.
