Fibronectin on prosthetic denture fabrication.
It is well known that fibronectin adheres to various oral bacteria and shows affinity to various components. Thus the existence fibronectin which is present in the salivary flow, acquired pellicle and dental plaque, was investigated in used acrylic resin dentures with a direct immunohistochemical fluorescent technique using antihuman fibronectin goat serum which was labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). It was found that fibronectin frequently was present on the surface of acrylic resin dentures.
