Biofilm development by blastospores and hyphae of Candida albicans on abraded denture acrylic resin surfaces

Abstract: The presence of hyphae in early Candida biofilms increased biofilm mass and resistance to removal. Increased surface roughness enhances retention of hyphae and yeast cells, and, therefore, will facilitate plaque regrowth. Therefore, minimization of denture abrasion during cleaning is desirable.

“…On the other hand, an increased roughness may foster biofilm adhesion in vivo. Surface roughness, amongst other factors like material properties, is a known contributor to oral biofilm adhesion 26,27) . Hence the absence of a significant difference in cell growth may be due to two counter-acting effects.…”

“…The hyphal form has higher pathogenic potential, as it can penetrate the surface of and invade epithelial tissue 28) . Another study has reported that inhibition of the transition from the yeast to hyphal form reduces biofilm formation 29) . Thus, inhibition of hyphal expression on the TC surface may decrease the pathogenicity of C. albicans and biofilm formation.…”

“…Candida biofilm development on denture acrylic resin begins with adhesion, which can either occur directly to the conditioned surface or via a layer of pre-existing denture plaque. 1 The surface irregularities increase the probability of bacterial accumulation, and Candida adhesion than smooth surface, surface roughness of prostheses providing niches in which the microorganisms are protected from sheer forces and oral hygiene measures. The surface of the resins used in the construction of the prosthesis can be finished and polished using variety of techniques.…”
