OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the ability of three alkaline peroxide-type (Polident, Efferdent, Fittydent) and two mouth rinse cleaning agents (CloSYSII and Corsodyl) to inhibit Candida albicans on acrylic denture base resin. BACKGROUND: Appropriate routine cleaning of dentures is necessary to prevent denture stomatitis and maintenance of healthy supporting tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 180 acrylic resin specimens (10 × 10 × 2 mm) were prepared and divided into six groups. Candida albicans was incubated on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) at 37°C for 48 h. After dilution, a final yeast suspension of approximately 10(6) C. albicans per millimetre was prepared. Ten acrylic resin specimens for each group were placed in a sterile Petri dish covered with 20 ml of fungal suspension and incubated at 37°C for 90 min. Then, the specimens were immersed in 40 ml of the test solution at 37°C for 15, 30 and 60 min. Fungal cells adhering to acrylic resin surfaces were fixed in formaldehyde and counted microscopically. RESULTS: Mouth rinses showed the highest removal activity for all the treatment times and completely eliminated the adherence of C. albicans. CONCLUSIONS: The use of mouth rinse may be a suitable method for cleaning dentures.
