AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of microwave disinfection and antifungal treatment for denture stomatitis among 60 wearers divided into three groups.
- Both treatments were found to significantly reduce symptoms and fungal growth after 14 and 30 days, showing no major differences in effectiveness (P > .05).
- The main fungal species identified was C. albicans, and microwave disinfection once a week for two weeks was as effective as antifungal therapy in managing the condition.
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of denture microwave disinfection and antifungal therapy on treatment of denture stomatitis.
Study Design: Sixty denture wearers with denture stomatitis (3 groups; n = 20 each), were treated with nystatin or denture microwave disinfection (1 or 3 times/wk) for 14 days. Mycologic samples from palates and dentures were quantified and identified with the use of Chromagar, and clinical photographs of palates were taken. Microbiologic and clinical data were analyzed with the use of a series of statistical tests (α = .05).
Results: Both treatments similarly reduced clinical signs of denture stomatitis and growth on palates and dentures at days 14 and 30 (P > .05). At sequential appointments, the predominant species (P < .01) isolated was C. albicans (range 98%-53%), followed by C. glabrata (range 22%-12%) and C. tropicalis (range 25%-7%).
Conclusions: Microwave disinfection, at once per week for 2 treatments, was as effective as topical antifungal therapy for treating denture stomatitis.

Selective Lipophilization of Natural Phenolic Alcohols Induced by Choline Chloride-Based Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents.

In this scientific work, a novel and green method for selective lipophilization of EVOO's bioactive phenolic alcohols (PAs), namely, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and its metabolite homovanillyl alcohol as fatty acid esters, is elucidated. The PAs have been employed as hydrogen bond donors in the formation of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) with choline chloride (ChCl). The fast and cheap esterification method by formation of choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents promotes the derivatization of PAs with various fatty acids as acylating agents in the absence of organic solvents and catalysts.

Innovative super-hydrophilic/superoleophobic eco-friendly sponge composite is fabricated by integrating chemically-modified cellulose with lignin derived from bio-waste wheat-straw. Such combination is implemented by modifying cellulose with thiadiazole-amide and integrating it with lignin using microwave/ultrasonic-powered in-liquid plasma. Physicochemical characteristics of sponge-composite (WL-TDAC) are studied using FTIR, N-physisorption, DLS, SEM, chemical-computational analysis, and surface wettability.

Objectives: The increase in epidemic diseases and frequent use of alcoholic disinfectants, despite their side effects, prompt scientists to develop new sterilization products that do not contain alcoholic materials. The aim of this study was to develop, prepare, and evaluate a nanoemulgel skin sanitizer using essential oils (EOs) as active substances.
Materials And Methods: A microwave-based technique was used to prepare nanoemulsion.

Oral hygiene education for patients is fundamental in preventive-promotional dentistry. The disinfection of toothbrushes (TBs) must be integrated into this context due to their proximity to contaminant sources that make them vulnerable to cross infection in homes. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of domestic techniques for disinfection of TBs.
