The effect of surface roughness of silicone-based resilient liner materials on the adherence of Candida albicans and inhibition of Candida albicans with different disinfectants.

Abstract

RTPSLM and HTPSLM did not show significant differences in the surface roughness value; also they showed no significant differences in the adhesion rate of C. albicans. All tested silicone-based soft lining materials showed adherence of C. albicans after contamination procedures, and removal activity for C. albicans was observed in all tested silicone-based soft lining materials after disinfection procedures.
