Growth of Candida albicans colony on heat cured acrylic plat in inclusion of lime fruit extract (Citrus aurantifolia) 40% as desinfectant

Heat cured acrylic (HCA) resin has a rough, hard and porous surface. This causes food scraps to stick frequently makes it easier for Candida albicans grow. Lime peel extract (citrus aurantifolia) is natural ingredient that antifungal. The pur-pose of this study was determine the growth C.albicanscolonies on heat dentures in 40% immersion lime extract. HCA plate samples were 40 samples, namely extractconcentration group, negative control group (akuades) positive which soaked 2 hours 6 hours. design post-test only with data analysis using one-way Anova test. results showed each normally distributed variance heterogeneous (p>0.05). It concluded can inhibit C.albicans colonies plates.
