Portuguese to English: USE OF LIQUID SOAPS IN PROSTHESIS DISINFECTION General field: Science Detailed field: Medical: Dentistry
Source text - Portuguese A estomatite protética é uma doença que se desenvolve, principalmente, quando micro-organismos colonizam a superfície interna da prótese (Darwazeh et al., 2010, Lazarin et al., 2014, Dantas et al., 2014). Em decorrência de certas características das resinas acrílicas, como a aspereza, hidrofobicidade e forças eletrostáticas, a adesão desses micro-organismos é favorecida, resultando na formação do biofilme. (Salerno80 C et al., 2011, Hoshing33 C et al., 2011, Loster51 BW et al., 2012, Dandekeri17 S et al., 2013, Hahnel31 S et al., 2012, Huh34 JB et al., 2014, Petrovic73 M et al., 2014). Estes biofilmes são extremamente resistentes aos agentes antimicrobianos em comparação com as células planctônicas, em função da matriz extracelular, a qual atua como um revestimento de proteção (Nett67 JE et al., 2010, Faot23 F et al., 2014). A remoção eficaz do biofilme pela escovação exige um certo grau de destreza manual, que é comumente comprometida em idosos (Brondani10 MA et al., 2012). Assim, a desinfecção química associada ao método de escovação é considerado o procedimento mais indicado (Faot23 F et al., 2014; Felton25 D et al., 2011). Em função das desvantagens do uso de algumas soluções químicas utilizadas para a desinfecção de próteses, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as propriedades biológicas, mecânicas e física de uma resina acrílica para base de próteses após imersão em sabonetes líquidos desinfetantes, nas suas concentrações inibitórias mínimas (CIM) para Candida albicans, em diferentes períodos de tempo.
Translation - English Prosthetic stomatitis is an illness that is usually developed when microorganisms colonize the internal surface of a dental prosthesis (Darwazeh et al., 2010, Lazarin et al., 2014, Dantas18 APFM et al., 2014). Due to certain characteristics of acrylic resins, such as roughness, hydrophobicity and electrostatic force, adhesion of microorganisms to their surfaces is favored, resulting in biofilm formation (Salerno et al., 2011). These biofilms are much more resistant to antimicrobial agents than planktonic cells, due their extracellular matrices, which act as protective coatings (Nett et al., 2010, Faot et al., 2014). Prosthesis brushing for efficient biofilm removal requires a certain level of manual capability, which is usually compromised in elderly patients (Brondani et al., 2012). Therefore, chemical disinfection, associated to the brushing method, is considered the most indicated procedure (Faot et al., 2014; Felton et al., 2011). Considering the disadvantages of some chemical solutions used in prostheses disinfection, the objective of this study was to evaluate biological, mechanical and physical properties of acrylic resins, used as bases for prostheses, after their immersion in liquid disinfectant soaps for different periods of time, in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for Candida albicans.
