It is well known that Candida albicans is typical dimorphic fungi. Both mycelial form and yeast form of Candida albicans are existed on denture plaque. The purpose of this study was to investigate the different froms and dietary sugars which could influence the adhesion of Candida albicans to acrylic resin surfaces. Mixed group which contained mycelial form and yeast form of Candida albicans adhered to acrylic resing greater than yeast form group in high consentration of cell. While, in low concentration of cell, yeast form group adhered to acrylic resin greater than mixed group. A scanning electron microscopic study showed both mycelial and yeast form of Candida albicans firm adhered to acrylic resin.
