Abstract

For the purpose of evaluating the cleansing efficiency against Candida albicans detected frequently in patients with denture stomatitis, two denture cleansers with or without enzymes were studied under the same conditions. The results were as fellows: 1. Enzyme-contain denture cleanser was showed more Candida albicans lytic ability than non-enzyme-contained denture cleanser. 2. It was observed that Candida albicans lytic activity in further diluted manufacturerers' recommended concentration was decreased. 3. In fungicidal test, the enzyme-contained denture cleanser sterilized Candida albicans, and the non-enzyme-contained denture cleanser did not sterilize Candida albicans. 4. Sterilizing time of Candid albicans was needed for at least 60 minutes in enzyme-contained denture cleanser solution which was diluted with manufacturerers' recommended concentrations., and was needed for more times with further diluted manufacturerers' recommended concentrations. 5. In vitro growth test of Candida albicans on acrylic resin surface, the only enzyme-contained denture cleanser inhibited growth of Candida albicans, and it was observed that inhibiton ability of growth of Candida albicans on arrylic resin surface was decreased in further diluted manufacturerers' recommended concentrations.
