Article Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of hydrothermal ageing on biofilm adhesion and surface properties of denture base resins fabricated via different techniques.
Materials And Methods: Denture base resin samples were produced using the following manufacturing techniques: conventional cold polymerization (CP), heat polymerization (HP), CAD-CAM milling (CADm) and CAD-CAM printing (3D). The samples were tested before and after hydrothermal ageing (5000 cycles, 5 °C/55°C). The surface roughness was measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the hydrophobicity was observed by measuring the water contact angle (WCA). Monomicrobial biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were formed and quantified before and after ageing using colony-forming units (CFUs/ml) and the MTT test. Statistical differences were evaluated using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Results: Two-way ANOVA showed that ageing significantly influenced the roughness (p = 0.002). The highest roughness values before and after ageing were measured for 3D resin samples. The WCA values of 3D resin samples changed after ageing (p = 0.018). Amount and metabolic activity of monomicrobial biofilms were increased during ageing on all four tested denture base resins.
Conclusions: Ageing influenced the roughness and microbial adhesion on all tested denture base materials, regardless of the manufacturing method.
Clinical Relevance: Finding support replacing dentures every five years due to increased biofilm adhesion post ageing.

Department of Biomaterials, Hamidiye Institute of Health Sciences, University of Health Sciences Turkey, Istanbul, Turkey.
This study evaluates the cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and expression of stress-related genes (TP53 and NF-κB) in response to gingiva-colored indirect composite resins used for veneering tooth or implant-supported prostheses or characterization of denture bases. A total of 120 disc-shaped specimens (2 mm thick, 10 mm diameter) gingiva-colored indirect composite resin specimens (Group A: Anaxgum-Anaxdent, Group B: Crealing Paste Gum-Bredent, Group G: Gradia Gum-GC, Group N: SR Nexco GUM-Ivoclar Vivadent) were prepared and divided into four groups (n = 10 per group). Surface wettability was assessed using water contact angle (WCA) measurements.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of two antimicrobial agents, ketoconazole and alkaline glutaraldehyde, on () adherence to three denture base materials: conventional heat-cured polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), flexible denture base material, and injectable denture base material. The objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy of ketoconazole in reducing adherence, evaluate the effectiveness of alkaline glutaraldehyde in preventing microbial attachment, and compare the performance of both agents across the tested materials to identify optimal strategies for controlling fungal infections.
Materials And Methods: This in vitro study was conducted at the Sibar Institute of Dental Sciences, Guntur, India, between June 2023 and June 2024.

Department of Dental Hygiene, Hanseo University.
This study investigated the antimicrobial efficacy, biocompatibility, and surface effects of a denture cleanser containing Reynoutria elliptica extract. The cleanser was prepared with extract concentrations of 0, 100, and 150 μg/mL combined with 1% coco betaine as a natural surfactant. Antimicrobial efficacy against Candida albicans was tested, along with evaluations of surface microhardness, roughness, color stability, and solubility of acrylic resin after immersion.

Background: Effective cleaning protocols are crucial for controlling biofilm formation on oral prostheses and preserving the oral health of patients relying on removable partial dentures (RPDs).
Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the antibiofilm efficacy of 4 cleansing protocols on a cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy surface, which is commonly used as the base-metal framework material in dental prosthodontics.
Material And Methods: Cobalt-chromium specimens were contaminated with isolated strains of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans to form monospecies biofilms.

Statement Of Problem: Despite the importance of denture hygiene, little is known about how different hygiene protocols perform against multispecies biofilms, including Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans, on denture surfaces made from conventional versus 3-dimensionally (3D) printed acrylic resins.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of hygiene protocols on a multispecies biofilm (C albicans, S aureus, and S mutans) formed on resin used for denture bases and teeth.
Material And Methods: Circular specimens (Ø6×2 mm) were made from 3D printed denture resin (n=77) and heat-polymerized resin (n=77).
