Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of essential oils, like cinnamaldehyde and carvacrol, as adjuncts to existing antimicrobials to combat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and reduce antimicrobial resistance.
- Various tests were conducted to assess the effectiveness of these essential oils, their safety on human cells, and their ability to work in synergy with traditional antimicrobials.
- Findings indicate that essential oils have strong antimicrobial properties, particularly against MRSA, and can enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments, though some components showed cytotoxic effects.
Objectives: This study compares the biofilm inhibition effects of denture cleaning tablets, carvacrol, and their combined use against Candida albicans on denture bases produced with different techniques. Additionally, the surface roughness and contact angles of these denture bases were evaluated.
Materials And Methods: Test samples were prepared from four different denture base materials (cold-polymerized, heat-polymerized, CAD/CAM milling, and 3D-printed).
