Microbicidal efficacy of ozonated water against Candida albicans adhering to acrylic denture plates

Abstract

Our results suggest that application of ozonated water may be useful in reducing the number of C. albicans on denture plates.

A study for biofilm removing and antimicrobial effects by microbubbled tap water and other functional water, electrolyzed hypochlorite water and ozonated water

“…Therefore, the microorganisms remaining after biofi lm removal should be killed by antiseptics that do not cause damage to acrylic resin or metal alloy materials and induce minimal mucous irritation. Next, the synergic effects were examined using a combination of functional water (electrolyzed hypochlorite water and the ozonated water) which is generally used in the industrial fi eld1 [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] . The electrolyzed hypochlorite water was produced by electrolyzing sodium salt, and generated 30, 100, or 200 ppm (ZI and ZIB groups), which are commonly used for safely washing food, including vegetables [13][14][15][16] .…”

“…The antimicrobial effects of functional water [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] were examined in microbubbled form and the fi ndings were then compared with those of microbubbled tap water.…”

Bactericidal efficacy of glycine-type amphoteric surfactant as a denture cleaner and its influence on properties of denture base resins

“…Currently, many kinds of denture cleaners are available; however, their efficacy as sterilization or disinfection agents is unclear 6) . The current expectation is for cleaning agents to clean simply and effectively, with no risk to human health, and with no adverse effects on the properties of the denture material 7) . As most denture materials are porous acrylic resins, water is easily absorbed, so that when denture hygiene is neglected, the denture becomes stained and unpleasant-smelling, with resulting bad breath 8,9) .…”

“…55,56 Metal kaideli protezlerin yüzey pürüzlülüğü ve ağırlığına minimum etkisi olduğundan ozon, bu protezlerin dezenfeksiyonunda da güvenle kullanılabilir. 57,58 Mikrodalga fırınların Candida albicans veya baĢka mikroorganizmalarla kontamine olmuĢ protezlerin dezenfeksiyonunda kullanılması gündemde olan bir konudur.…”
