Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the susceptibility
of seven different restorative materials (three conventional composite resins,
two bulk-fill composite resins, one giomer, and one high viscosity glass
ionomer material) to adhere Candida
albicans and Candida parapsilosis.
Material and methods: In this
study, thirty cylindrical specimens of each material were made according to
instructions of the manufacturers. The surface roughness of the specimens was
assessed using a profilometer. Thereafter, the specimens were incubated with a
reference strain of Candida albicans (ATCC
64548) and Candida parapsilosis (ATCC
22019). The proliferated colonies counted as CFU/ml. One-way analysis of
variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate the surface roughness and the adhesion
value of the materials. Tukey’s post-hoc test was used for subsequent pairwise
comparisons.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference
between the groups in terms of the surface roughness of the materials (p<0.05). The high viscosity glass
ionomer material exhibited significantly higher surface roughness values while X-trafil
(a bulkfill composite resin) had the lowest surface roughness values. Also, there
was a significant difference between Candida
adhesion values of the materials (p<0.05).
Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between surface
roughness and adhesion of Candida
albicans and Candida parapsilosis.
Involvement was seen more for Candida albicans compared to Candida
parapsilosis in all restorative materials.
