In Vitro Biofilm Formation on Aryl Ketone Polymer (AKP), A New Denture Material, Compared with That on Three Traditional Dental Denture Materials

Figure 1

Candida albicans biofilms grown on Ultaire® AKP and traditional dental materials quantified as colony-forming units (CFUs) recovered from coupons after incubation with C. albicans for 6 hours under static conditions or for 24 hours under dynamic conditions in the CDC Biofilm Reactor. Solid bars represent mean log₁₀ CFU/coupon, and error bars represent the standard error. Gray bars are materials with highest number of CFUs. vs gray bar. An unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t-test was used for statistical comparisons of all sample means, with significance appointed at .
