摘要：Denture wearers are often affected by Denture Stomatitis which is caused by c.albicans but there are evidence that it is not just because of solely candida but rather it is a biofilm formed by multispecies including streptococcus mutans which is also a frequent member of acrylic denture along with Candida. So this study was done to see the sensitivity of candida and s.mutans against chlorhexidine and a commercially available denture cleansing agent. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the antimicrobial action of chlorhexidine and denture cleansing substance (sodium perborate monohydrate) on BPS and conventional dentures. Secure tablets, chlorhexidine mouthwash, 20 autoclaved slabs of BPS, 20 autoclaved slabs of conventional denture were the materials required.The autoclaved slabs were incubated for the growth of Candida and S.mutans 10 on each slab. These slabs were then exposed to chlorhexidine and denture cleansing tablets further to this there reduction on microbial colony was calculated by incubating the slabs on SDA for candida and nutrient agar for s. mutans. The result showed reduction of the microbial colonies over BPS slabs when compared to conventional denture slabs.The BPS material has a smooth surface texture with zero porosity which resists microbial growth. Their surface does not allow microbial attachment.
