Non-Thermal O<sub>2</sub> Plasma Efficacy on <i>C. albicans</i> and Its Effect on Denture Base Resin Color
Denture stomatitis is a disease involving <i>C. albicans</i>, which can affect elderly and immuno-compromised people. To avoid any recurrence of this pathology, it is necessary to treat patients regularly and disinfect dentures. However, the denture cleansers’ efficacy is not optimal and...
