The role of saliva and Fibronectin (FN) in the adherence Candida albicans to acrylic resin plate surfaces in vitro were investigated. Precorting Candida albicans with FN reduced adhesion to precorting acrylic resin plates with FN, while precorting Candida albicans with Phosphate-bufferd saline increased adhesion to precorting acrylic resin plates with FN. Precorting resin plates were a significant factor which influenced adhesion of Candida albicans to the resin plate surfaces.
This study suggests that saliva and components of saliva like as FN may play an important role in adhesion of Candida albicans to the acrylic resin surfaces. In order to removedenture plaque, it is an important approach that denture peliclle is removed.
