Candida albicans Denture Biofilm and its Clinical Significance.
Fungi belonging to Candida genus, especially C. albicans play an important role in microflora of oral cavity. Microbial colonisation process taking place within oral cavity is inseparably related to formation of multispecies biofilm, i.e. dental and denture plaque. A mature fungal biofilm is a heterogeneous three-dimensional dense conglomeration of mixture of different morphological forms: blas...
متن کاملDevelopment of In Vitro Denture Biofilm Models for Halitosis Related Bacteria and their Application in Testing the Efficacy of Antimicrobial Agents
OBJECTIVE Since dentures can serve as a reservoir for halitosis-causing oral bacteria, halitosis development is a concern for denture wearers. In this study, we surveyed the prevalence of four selected halitosis-related species (Fusobacterium nucleatum, Tannerella forsythia, Veillonella atypica and Klebsiella pneumoniae) in clinical denture plaque samples, and developed denture biofilm models f...
متن کاملViable Compositional Analysis of an Eleven Species Oral Polymicrobial Biofilm
PURPOSE Polymicrobial biofilms are abundant in clinical disease, particularly within the oral cavity. Creating complex biofilm models that recapitulate the polymicrobiality of oral disease are important in the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. In order to do this accurately we require the ability to undertake compositional analysis, in addition to determine individual cell viability, ...
متن کاملInvestigation into the formation and susceptibility of Candida albicans biofilms and denture plaque in vitro. Submitted in fulfilment o f the conditions governing candidates for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
Microbial biofilms are wide-spread in nature and the organisms within them are often able to cause acute and chronic human diseases. The nature of biofilms is complex and the organisms behave differently from their planktonic counterparts. Many studies have been carried out on bacterial biofilms related to oral diseases, but little work has focused upon the potential clinical role of fungal and...
متن کاملAssessment of Efficacy of Two Types of Brushes for Removal of Biofilm from the Complete Denture Surface
Background: The various methods for the removal of biofilm from denture surface are mechanical (brushing and ultrasonic device) and chemical methods (alkaline peroxide and hypochlorite, acids, enzymes and disinfectants). Aim of the study: To assess the efficacy of two types of brushes for removal of biofilm from the complete denture surface. Materials and method: The current study was conducted...
