Experiments on <i>in vivo</i> biofilm formation and <i>in vitro</i> adhesion of <i>Candida</i> species on polysiloxane liners

Abstract

The results of the in vitro experiments suggest that salivary film influences early colonisation of different C. albicans strains. The film layer also minimises the differences among different strains. The Candida carriage of these patients was similar to denture-wearing patients without soft liners.
