“…The mean values of the counts of adherent cells in (group1%) show the lowest value when compared with ( the control group), these result can be due to the antimicrobial activity of coconut natural oil, which has good inhibition for Candida albicans adhesion cells, especially in a little amount of addition [18][19][20][21]. Zinah M and Ghassan N, 2020 [22] said: "Incorporation of a small amount of natural coconut oil (1.5%) has improved the antifungal competence compared to control and experimental groups".…”

Purpose. This study's objective was to estimate the effect of various quantities of the addition of natural coconut oil according to concentrations (1%, 2%, 3%) on the heat cured denture base material's anti-fungal, flexural strength, and hardness properties. Material and method. A total of 120 samples were created and (divided into three groups each groups contain forty samples) built regarding the attitude test: Candida albicans adherence test, flexural strength test, and hardness test. Next, each group was subdivided into three subgroups (control 0%, 1%, 2% and 3%) based on the various quantities of the added natural coconut oil, with (n=10 samples for each subgroup). Each group was assessed at 48 hours. One-way ANOVA and other statistical methods were used to analyze the data, Duncan and Dunnett’s tests for comparison means among all groups with control at p ≤0.05. Results. A One-way ANOVA showed a significant difference in the mean values of Candida albicans adherence, with the additive of natural coconut oil groups (1%, 2%) showing the highest antifungal effect compare with (3% additive groups). Adding 1% coconut oil had no significant difference on hardness and flexural strength, while adding 2% and 3% additive of coconut oil groups showed a significantly decrease than control groups at p ≤ (0.05). Conclusion. The antifungal properties of heat-cured acrylic resin are enhanced by the addition of coconut oil. However, when used in high concentrations (greater than 1%), it can result in a decrease in hardness and flexural strength.

“…They may be used for both short- and long-term purposes, and they could be heat- or auto-polymerized [ 5 , 6 ]. In order to provide denture wearers with the greatest possible benefits, the ideal soft lining material should have a variety of characteristics, such as low water solubility, resistance to microbial growth, good resiliency, biocompatibility, and dimensional stability [ 7 , 8 ]. Despite this, there are a variety of challenges with soft lining materials, including their failure to bond to denture bases, loss of resilience, color changes, poor tear strength, porosity, and subsequent plaque accumulation with dominant Candida albicans ( C. albicans ) colonization [ 9 ].…”

Background. Soft denture lining materials act as a cushion between the denture base and tissues. Alongside having many advantages, its main problem is candida growth due to its rubbery and porous texture. Many interventions have been performed to halt the growth of candida within soft lining materials such as the use of antifungal therapy and strict oral and denture hygiene but there are consequences such as recurrence, drug resistance, and toxicity related to these interventions. Since natural agents such as aloe vera and chitosan have been proven to have antibacterial and antifungal properties with minimum adverse effects, this study aimed to study the effectiveness of chitosan and aloe vera powders incorporated within denture soft lining materials against candida adherence. Methodology. A total of 60 soft-lining material samples were prepared that were equally divided into three groups, viz., group 1 (chitosan incorporation), group 2 (aloe vera incorporation), and group 3 (control). Candida was obtained from the microbiology lab to form a candidal suspension, diluted in 0.9% NaCl to match the McFarland standard bacteriologic solution. Samples were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours in test tubes containing 100 mL of the candidal suspension and 9.9 mL of the previously prepared Sabouraud dextrose agar. Crystal violet stain was used to stain the adhering cells by fixing them with methanol 80%. For each sample, the adhering candida cells were counted on three standard fields by using an inverted light microscope, and the mean of those fields was recorded. Results. The mean value for samples containing aloe vera was 41.15, while the mean values for samples containing chitosan and the control group were 16.05 and 79.1, respectively. Of all the three groups, aloe vera powder had a significant efficacy against candida growth as compared to the chitosan and control groups (P value = 0.001). Conclusion. Both herbal agents were effective against candida growth. In comparison, aloe vera was more effective against candida growth compared to chitosan.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been used as a model for many different dental materials. However, PMMA appliances and products do not have the best mechanical properties. Various fillers and oils, such as bergamot essential oil, thymol, eucalyptus, mer ,maid and ginger, have been added to address this issue. So, this study looked at what happened when lemongrass essential oil (LGEO) was added to heat-cured PMMA denture base material and how it changed the properties of PMMA. Methods: 120 samples were prepared and split into four equal groups based on the tests that were done (the transverse strength, impact strength, surface roughness, and surface hardness), and each group their specimens were prepared and divided into three groups; control 0 vol.% without additive and two experimental groups (with 2.5 vol. % LGEO additive, with 5 vol. % LGEO additive) Results: The addition of 5 vol. % LGEO has the best effect on the acrylic's improved mechanical and physical properties (transverse strength, impact strength, and surface roughness) except for the surface hardness, which is less affected with the addition of 2.5 vol. % LGEO at p < 0.05. Conclusion: By adding LGEO to heat-curing acrylic material, it is possible to make a material with better mechanical and physical properties Keywords: Essential oils, Lemongrass essential oil, Mechanical properties, Physical properties, polymethylmethacrylate material.
