Abstract :Purpose This in-vitro study evaluated and compared the effect of white henna insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WH); and natural henna insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NH); addition on Candida albicans adhesion and physical properties of the denture base material. Materials and Methods A total of 243 acrylic resin specimens insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9 per group); were divided as follows: 81 for flexural strength, 81 for Candida albicans adherence test, and 81 for surface roughness, translucency, and hardness. Heat-polymerized acrylic resin specimens were prepared by adding 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 wt% of WH or NH. Candida albicans adhesion was determined using direct culture and slide count methods. Flexural strength, surface roughness, hardness, and translucency were measured using the three-point bending test, profilometer, Vickers hardness test, and spectrophotometer, respectively. ANOVA and post hoc Tukey’s tests were performed for data analysis. Results Addition of 0.5% WH, 1% WH, and 0.5% NH to denture base resin significantly decreased Candida albicans adhesion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. WH and NH significantly decreased the flexural strength and translucency, except 0.5% WH, and significantly increased surface roughness, except 0.5% WH and 0.5% NH. WH addition showed non-significant differences in the hardness, while NH addition significantly decreased hardness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusion Addition of WH and NH decreased C. albicans adhesion to PMMA denture base resin. However, flexural strength, translucency, and surface roughness were adversely affected, particularly at higher concentrations. Hardness was reduced with NH only.
