Overview

In vitro study evaluates surface properties and Candida albicans biofilm formation in denture materials, suggesting nanographene’s benefits.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the surface properties and biofilm formation of various denture base materials.
  • Thirty disk-shaped specimens were prepared and divided into three groups of ten each.
  • Specimens underwent thermocycling in artificial saliva followed by measurements of surface roughness, hydrophobicity, and biofilm formation.
  • Data analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test for multiple comparisons.
  • Surface roughness significantly changed before polishing and after thermocycling (p < 0.001), with CDM showing the highest roughness.
  • GDM exhibited lower surface roughness after thermocycling (p < 0.001) and initially higher biofilm formation that decreased post-thermocycling (p < 0.001).
  • Biofilm levels correlated positively with contact angle (r = 0.478) and negatively with roughness (r = -0.401).
