Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Oral candidiosis is the most common fungal infection encountered in dentistry. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate quantitively adhesion of Candida albicans to different maxillofacial silicone materials in RPMI 1640. The quantitively measurement was provided by use of a colorimetric method (XTT). RESULT: There was adhesion on the maxillofacial silicone materials. However there was no measured differences among materials. (p>0.01). CONCLUSION: This finding emphasizes that C. albicans adhere to maxillofacial silicone materials Key Words: C. albicans, Adhesion.
