Efficacy of gluteraldehyde and EDTA as denture cleansers against Candida albicans - An in vitro study

Shabana Bowsiya , Dr. Naveen Kumar

Gluteraldehyde and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) are commonly used in dentistry as root canal disinfectants. They also have antifungal properties. Hence, they can be used as a denture disinfectant. In this study, the denture materials were contaminated with candidial suspension followed by exposure to the disinfectants. It was found that both the disinfectants were consistent with eachother. However, EDTA has a better disinfecting property compared to gluteraldehyde. Since, they are fasible and easily available, they can commercially be used as denture disinfectants.
