Candidiasis is the most common fungal infection in denture wearers. The association between Candida and denture base is directly related to the efficiency of this micro-organism to adhere and colonize these surfaces, which is an essential initial step for the development of denture-related stomatitis. Additionally, the use of denture liners has increased, with these materials more prone to microbial adhesion when compared with acrylic resin due to its higher surface roughness. These materials have demonstrated capacity to interact with oral micro-organisms.This important problem is the reason why several attempts have been made to develop biomaterials containing antifungal. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential antifungal activity of triazine added to acrylic resin and liners used in prosthodontics using microcosms biofilm model with saliva derived from patients with or without candidiasis, verifying its effectiveness in reducing microbial adherence and consequently reduce the incidence of Candida infections. The mechanical properties of the tested materials after the incorporation of triazine were also evaluated. We considered four commercially available materials (a microwave-cured acrylic resin and two soft denture liners and one hard denture liner) to which were added different concentrations of triazine (0; 2.5; 5.0 and 10%). The results indicated that no difference were found among triazine concentrations in acrylic resin flexural strength (p= 0.059). Triazine addition did not result in surface roughness changes, although all denture liners presented higher surface roughness compared with acrylic resin, while in general, SoftConfort presented the highest roughness (p<0.001). In general, 5 and 10% triazine addition resulted in more soluble materials. All materials presented increased water sorption with the addition of triazine (p<0.05), except for CoeSoft, where no change was observed. Candidiasis patient saliva presented higher counts of total micro-organisms (p= 0.0294) and total streptococci (p = 0.0008). Regarding materials, total streptococci, total micro-organisms and Candida counts were higher in CoeSoft (p<0.0001). Candida species counts was the same for both saliva donors (p>0.05). The addition of triazine did not result in decrease of total micro-organisms, total streptococci or Candida species in all materials tested (p>0.05). In conclusion, the addition of triazine to acrylic resin and denture liners in a complex biofilm model did not modify the development of biofilms in both patients with and without candidiasis
