| Abstract: | Background: Denture stomatitis is inflammation of oral mucosa due to various factors like oral and denture hygiene, saliva, denture age and degree of colonization with C.albicans. Denture cleanliness is essential to prevent malodor, poor aesthetics and accumulation of plaque/calculus. Denture care products should be easy to handle, effective in removing inorganic/organic deposits, bactericidal and fungicidal, non-toxic and inexpensive. Aim: The aim of this study was to to evaluate and compare the antifungal effectiveness of three antifungal agents on heat-polymerised acrylic denture base resin when used as a denture soaking agent along with evaluation and comparison of the effects of the said three agents on its Flexural strength. Materials and Methods: A total of twenty eight acrylic specimens were divided into 4 groups (n=7); G1: Distilled water; G2: 2% Chlorhexidine gluconate; G3: Lemongrass oil; G4: Lavender oil and immersed in 1ml of each agent for 24h at 370C after previous inoculation with C.albicans suspension. Colony counting tests were performed using Sabouraud dextrose agar plates and compared for the antifungal property. They were also subjected to flexural strength tests. Statistical analysis used: One-way ANOVA followed by Post hoc Tukey's analysis test for antifungal activity and flexural strength were performed. Results: Results showed significant difference in antifungal activity and flexural strengths of test groups under study. Conclusion: It was concluded that Chlorhexidine gluconate, Lemongrass and Lavender oil are effective antifungal agents and decreased the flexural strength of acrylic denture base resin. |
