ABSTRACT

Introduction. The use of removable and/or complete prostheses promotes the formation of biofilms in the microporosities of the acrylic surface because they alter the oral environment, the flow of oxygen and saliva decreasing on the mucosal surface where the prostheses rests, creates an acidic and anaerobic environment leading to the growth and adhesion of Candida sp. considered as an opportunistic pathogen and causal agent of infections such as Candidiasis. Objective. To determine the presence of Candida sp. from samples of complete, monomaxillary and/or removable acrylic-based prostheses, samples from patients treated in clinics of the FEBUAP. Methodology. A descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective and in vitro study, was carried out on patients who met the inclusion criteria. Two samples were obtained from each zone prostheses, one from the tissue zone and other occlusal; each sample was sown on candida agar and potato dextrose agar plates to determine its growth; they were incubated at 24 to 48 h under aerobic conditions. Results. A total of 28 patients were analyzed, with an average age of 77 years. Thirty-six prostheses were analyzed: 16 complete, 13 removable and 7 monomaxillary, 72 samples were taken from them. The percentage of growth in the total sample was 69.4%. (50), the most frequent area of isolation was the tissue zone 58% (29), 70% (35) of the samples that showed growth were in the maxilla. Discussion. The use of acrylic-based prostheses favors the colonization of microorganisms such as Candida sp. The presence of Candida sp. in acrylic-based prostheses has been reported in the literature in different frequencies and percentages with respect to the authors consulted. In this study, the presence of yeast in the prostheses was also observed in the prostheses.
