- Abstract
Acrylic resins are often used as bases for removable orthodontic appliances, both self-cured and heat-cured acrylic resins. One of the rough parts on the surface of the removable orthodontic appliances base is the part that faces the mucosa so that the sharp part easily triggers plaque adhesion and food scraps that will increase the colony of Candida albicans. This study aimed to determine whether there is a difference in the attachment of Candida albicans colonies between self-cured and heat-cured acrylic resin plates used as a removable orthodontic appliance's base material. This study was an experimental laboratory with a posttest only group design. The research samples were ten plates of each self-cured acrylic resin and heat-cured resin. Both types of ingredients were soaked in 10 ml of Candida albicans suspension. The results with an independent t-test showed a significant difference between the attachment of Candida albicans colonies on self-cured and heat-cured acrylic plates with a significance value of p = 0.012 (p <0.05). There was a difference in the attachment of Candida albicans colonies on self-cured and heat-cured acrylic resin plates used as removable orthodontic appliances base material.
