Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of
heat-cured acrylic resin denture base and microwave-cured
acrylic resin denture base on Candidal growth.
Seven completely edentulous male patients with no
history of denture wearing participated in this study. All the
selected patients were re-habilitated by mucosa supported
complete dentures.
The dentures were constructed from conventional heatcured
acrylic resin denture base following monoplane concept
of occlusion. Before dismissing the patients and one month
after denture insertion, salivary samples were collected
according to oral rinse technique. One month resting period
was allowed so as Candidal count can reach to normal. Then
dentures were rebased using microwave-cured acrylic denture
base, before denture insertion and one month after denture
insertion, salivary sample were collected before and one
month following the same oral rinse technique.
