Aim of present paper is to determine the Candida albicans adherence toultrastructure of thermo-cure acrylic resins (PPMA) used in total dentures bases
confection. We used 2 samples of PPMA: first from the used dentures bases;
choosing 12 completely edentulous patients carriers of dentures and diagnosed with
sub-prosthetic stomatitis (SPE) and from this group we choose one at random; the
second sample from the PPMA newly developed by the traditional thermo-cure
protocol. Observing and comparing both samples in SEM, it was possible to
demonstrate the presence of hyphae, pseudo-hyphae, and chlamydospores in the
firs sample even hyphae entering to structure defects inherent to elaboration
process. In the second sample there was a marked topographic differentiation.
Microscopic evidence showed the Candida adhesion in sample from used dentures.
