Anti-adherent activity of nano-coatings deposited by thermionic vacuum arc plasma on C. albicans biofilm formation.
International Journal of Artificial Organs 2023 June 3
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to analyze the anti-adherent activity of nano-coatings deposited by Thermionic Vacuum Arc plasma on C. albicans ATCC 10231 biofilm.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 80 disc-shaped (2 × 10 mm) polymethymethacrylate samples were prepared and divided into four groups with 10 samples in each group (Control, ZnO, SnO2 , Ag) ( n = 10). Using thermionic vacuum arc plasma, they were coated with ZnO, SnO2 , and Ag. 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and Crystal Viole (CV) assays were conducted for biofilm quantification. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe biofilm images of C. albicans biofilm.
RESULTS: MTT and CV mean values differ statistically significantly between all groups ( p ⩽ 0.05). The SnO2 group had the lowest mean value, whereas the control group received the highest value.
CONCLUSION: SnO2 coating shown greater anti-adherent activity than either metal oxides. C. albicans biofilm formation on denture base surfaces is reduced following Thermionic Vacuum Arc plasma coating with SnO2 .
