Factors affecting the in-vitro adherence of Candida albicans to acrylic surfaces

The proteolytic potential of Candida albicans in human saliva supplemented with glucose

“…Not only would such an environment stimulate candidal proteases but high dietary carbohydrate could enhance the proliferation (Knight and Fletcher, 1971) and adhesion of C. albicans to palatal epithelial cells (Douglas, Houston and McCourtie, 198 1;Samaranayake and MacFarlane, 198 1, 1982) and acrylic denture surfaces (Samaranayake, McCourtie and MacFarlane, 1980;McCourtie and Douglas, 198 1).…”

A Candid Assessment of the Link between Oral <i>Candida</i> Containing Biofilms and Oral Cancer

“…In addition, biofilms allow C. albicans to interact with other microorganisms (refer to Table 1). Factors affecting the formation of oral biofilm include substratum, gingival crevicular fluid and saliva production [35]. In conclusion, formation of biofilm alters the microbiota of the oral cavity and causes disease by disrupting the host immune response.…”

Reinforcement Methods of Denture Base Resins: Review

“…Protez kaide materyallerine C. albicans tutunması ile ilgili yapılmış çok sayıda araştırma olmasına rağ-men, fibrillerle kuvvetlendirilmiş protez kaide materyallerine mantar tutunması ile ilgili sınırlı sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78] Bu nedenle bu materyallerin de rutin olarak uygulanabilmesi için klinik ça-lışmalara gereksinim vardır. 57.…”
