Antifungal Activity of Denture Soft Lining Material Modified by Silver Nanoparticles—A Pilot Study

Antifungal Activity of Denture Soft Lining Material Modified by Silver Nanoparticles—A Pilot Study

Soft liner materials in oral cavity environments are easily colonized both by fungi and dental plaque. These factors are the cause of mucosal infections. The microorganism that most frequently colonizes soft liner materials is Candida albicans. Colonization occurs on the surface of materials and wit...
