Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the transmission of candida in denture by dental polishing lathe. Materials and Methods: Maxillary complete dentures made from the same model were infected with Candida albicans. The infected dentures were polished by dental polishing lathe with sterile pumice and distilled water. And then sterile maxillary complete dentures were polished with same method. Polishing surface was wiped with a cotton swab and the sample was checked for Candida albicans. The polishing wheel at room temperature was checked for Candida albicans every 24 hours for 3 days. Results: A considerable number of Candida was found on the polished sterile dentures. And the Candida albicans in polishing wheel was detected at up to two days. Conclusion: An anti-infection measure is urgently needed when dental polishing lathe is used for denture polishing, because of the possibility of fungal infection.

목적: 치과용 연마기를 통한 캔디다균의 2차 감염성 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 동일한 모형에서 제작된 상악 총의치를 캔디다균에 감염시키고, 멸균된 퍼미스와 휠 증류수를 이용하여, 치과기공용 연마기로 연마하였다. 이후 멸균된 상악 총의치를 연이어 연마한 뒤연마한 부위를 면봉으로 채취하여, 캔디다균을 배양하였다. 연마한 휠은 3일동안 상온에 노출시켜 24시간 간격으로 캔디다균의 잔존여부를 측정하였다. 결과: 연마한 멸균 총의치에서 다수의 캔디다균이 발견되었으며, 연마한 휠에서는 2일까지 캔디다균이 검출되었다. 결론: 의치 연마를 위한 치과기공용 연마기를 사용시 캔디다균의 감염가능성이 있기 때문에 감염방지책이 필요하다.
