Abstract:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of two ethyl cyanoacrylate-based adhesives on the growth of Candida albicans biofilms on a heat-polymerized resin, after 7, 14, and 30 days of exposure. Ninety circular (10 × 2 mm) heat-polymerized resin specimens were equally divided into three groups: control, conventional ethyl cyanoacrylate (ECAc), and ethyl cyanoacrylate gel (ECAg). Two layers of 50 µL of each material were applied to the respective groups. C. albicans SC5314 strain was activated and standar… Show more
