Article Synopsis
- PMMA resins, commonly used in medical and dental fields, are vulnerable to bacterial biofilm formation, which can lead to material degradation and increased infection risk.
- In a study, the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms on PMMA surfaces were examined over a 45-day incubation period, focusing on factors like biofilm adhesion, surface roughness, and hydrophobicity.
- Results showed that biofilm exposure significantly altered PMMA surface properties, including increased roughness and hydrophobicity, suggesting a need for strategies to mitigate biofilm formation on these materials.
