Effect of Denture Base Fabrication Technique on Adhesion In Vitro.

Denture stomatitis is a common manifestation of oral candidiasis affecting some 65% of denture wearers. This condition is initiated by the adherence of to denture base acrylic resin. The present study aimed to test the in vitro effect of traditional and novel fabrication methods on adhesion to denture base samples.
