Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the transmission of candida in denture by dental polishing lathe. Materials and Methods: Maxillary complete dentures made from the same model were infected with Candida albicans. Polishing wheels were keep in various chlorhexidine solution and distilled water for an hour. The infected dentures were polished by prepared dental polishing lathe with sterile pumice and distilled water. And then sterile maxillary complete dentures were polished with same method. Polishing surface was wiped with a cotton swab and the sample was regrown for checking Candida albicans. Results: All polishing wheel with chlorhexidine resist fungal infection. But the polishing wheel with distilled water is infected with Candida albicans. Conclusion: A chlorhexidine is highly efficient in fungal infection prevention on dental polishing lathe.

목적: 치과 기공용 연마기 휠을 소독하기 위한 클로르헥시딘의 농도에 따른 캔디다균의 감염방지효과에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 동일한 모형에서 제작된 상악 총의치를 캔디다균에 감염시키고, 서로 다른 농도의 클로르헥시딘 용액에 1시간 보관한 연마 휠과 멸균된 퍼미스와 증류수를 이용하여, 치과기공용 연마기로 연마하였다. 이후 멸균된 상악 총의치를 연이어 연마한 뒤 연마한 부위를 면봉으로 채취하여, 재배양후 칸디다균의 여부를 확인하였다. 결과: 클로르 헥시딘을 적용한 연마휠은 농도에 관계 없이 감염의 전파가 일어나지 않았으나, 증류수만을 사용한 연마휠에서는 감염의 전파가 나타났다. 결론: 의치 연마기 휠의 감염방지를 위해 클로르헥시딘 용액은 효과적이다.
