Impact of caffeine on metabolic activity and biofilm formation of Candida albicans on acrylic denture resin in the presence of nicotine

ConclusionsThe presence of 8 mg/mL of nicotine alone increased the metabolic activity and biofilm formation ofC. albicans. In the presence of 8 mg/mL of nicotine with different caffeine concentrations, the results suggest that, overall, caffeine at higher concentrations (16 and 32 mg/mL) inhibited the metabolic activity and biofilm formation ofC. albicans on acrylic denture resin most.
