Abstract

Naturally available products have been used widely for centuries in handling human disease. The present study aimed to determine the antifungal ability of aluminum potassium sulfate against Candida Albicans adherence to the soft liner material in scientific way. The antifungal ability of aluminum potassium sulfate evaluated against Candida Albicans adherence in two part, first part include incorporation of KAL(SO4)2 in too soft liner monomer in concentration (1%, 2%, 3% by wt.) while the second part include immersion of soft liner specimens in solution of KAL(SO4)2 in concentration(5%, 10%, 15% percent) during different time periods (0, 10, 30, 60 minutes). In conclusions, the results of current study encourage use KAL (SO4)2 as antimicrobial material in different ways.
