The colonization of Candida albicans on soft liners causes the deterioration of material surface properties and denture stomatitis.PurposeThe purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of incorporating seed oil on the antifungal properties, surface roughness, wettability, weight changes, and glucose adsorption/absorption of a soft liner.Material and methodsCentratherum anthelminticum, Ocimum sanctum Linn, and Linum usitatissimum seed oils were incorporated into a soft liner, and the diameter of the inhibition zone (DIZ) was calculated relative to the growth of C albicans at 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days. The effect of incorporating oil on wettability was evaluated with the contact angle analyzer, and effect on surface roughness was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy. Weight changes and absorption/adsorption of glucose to the soft liner were estimated. Data were analyzed by using paired Student t tests and 2-way ANOVA (α=.01).ResultsSoft liner with 800 μL each of C anthelminticum and O sanctum oils showed complete inhibition at 72 hours; the DIZ on day 7 were 31.66 ±1.20 mm and 29.66 ±1.46 mm, respectively. The change in weight between time intervals differed significantly between conditions (P<.01). The addition of oils decreased the surface roughness and improved wettability significantly for O sanctum and C anthelminticum specimens (P<.01). At 72 hours, 5.5 mg of glucose was detected in the positive control, whereas no glucose was detected in the oil specimens.ConclusionsThe addition of the seed oils of C anthelminticum and O sanctum to the soft liner significantly reduced the growth of C albicans, improved wettability, reduced surface roughness, and minimized the absorption and adsorption of glucose.
