Aim: To find the efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and sodium perborate as denture disinfecting agents Materials and methods: Autoclaved heat cure acrylic denture strips were immersed 25ml of sterilised artificial saliva and 0.5 McFarland standard Candida albicans suspension. It was incubated for 3 days at 37° Celsius, after that it was cleaned with mineral water and then immersed in 50ml of disinfectant for 6 hours. 2% sodium hypochloriteand 4% sodium perboratewere used as denture cleansing agents, saline and 0.2% chlorhexidine were taken as the negative and positive control respectively.After 6 hours, a swab was taken from the rough surface of the denture base sample and streaked on the SDA plate. It was incubated for 24 hours. Growth pattern of Candida albicans was observed. A broth culture was made to confirm the results obtained in the above study Background: The prevalence of Candida albicans in the denture is significantly higher than that in mucosa.Sodium hypochlorite is a reducing agent & Sodium perborate is an oxidizing agent and helps in removing stains and kills the microbes on the denture. Denture disinfectant is used to control growth of microorganisms like Candida albicans preventing denture related stomatitis Results: It is concluded that 2% sodium hypochlorite is found to be better denture disinfecting agent compared to 4% sodium perborate. Conclusion: 2% sodium hypochlorite is found to be better denture disinfecting agent compared to 4% sodium perborate
