Abstract

The articles titled “Efficacy of denture cleansers on Candida spp. biofilm formed on polyamide and polymethyl methacrylate resins” and “Effect of daily use of an enzymatic denture cleanser on Candida albicans biofilms formed on polyamide and poly (methylmethacrylate) resins: An in vitro study” by Fernandes et al1 and Freitas-Fernandes et al,2 respectively, made for interesting reading. The interactions between microorganisms and nonmethacrylate polymers such as polyamide have rarely been reported.
