Temporal changes of denture plaque microbiologic composition evaluated in situ.

摘要: This study assessed how biofilm composition is affected by both time and denture material in complete wearers. Biofilm was formed during two phases of 14 days on acrylic resin liner specimens mounted the buccal surface mandibular dentures 21 patients. Specimens were removed randomly 2, 7, 14. Higher counts Candida glabrata, total streptococci, Actinomyces, microorganisms, percentage Actinomyces observed after 7 (P < .05). C glabrata only species to show progressively rising from day 2 14, while no difference found among materials tested.
