ABSTRACT
We investigated the effects of incorporation of surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler in tissue conditioner (TC) on Candida albicans adhesion. We prepared specimens containing 0, 5, 10, or 20 wt% of S-PRG filler, and measured the amount of C. albicans on the surface using a colony forming unit (CFU) assay and scanning electron microscopic images. In addition, we measured the consistency, penetration depth, and surface roughness (Ra). CFU values for 10 and 20 wt% were significantly lower than that for the control (p<0.05). Hyphal density on the surface was greater in the control. The 10 and 20 wt% specimens showed significantly higher consistency and Ra, lower penetration depth ratio than control (p<0.05). These results suggest that incorporation of S-PRG filler may reduce C. albicans adhesion onto TC surface; however, the optimal amount of filler is dictated by the influence of filler incorporation on mechanical and surface characters of TC.
