title: [The study of adhesion of Candida albicans to the selected acrylic resins].
abstract: The study has been performed on 3 acrylic resins used to fabricate removable dentures. Aim of the study was to detect possible differences in Candida albicans' adhesion within particular materials. Polished and non-polished samples were made, than these samples were sunk in precipitates containing Candida albicans material. Adhesion of Candida albicans to the surface of the materials occured within a concentration of 10. After 24 hours of incubation differences were found concerning the number of the plate cultures. Most of all plate cultures were observed on Lucitone 199, fewer on Zhermacryl, the poorest one was found on Palaxpress resin. Considerable number of plate cultures occured on non-polished samples relating to polished ones. After 48 hours of incubation further development of Candida albicans took place, with differences concerning various materials.
