Abstract
Resilient liners are frequently used to treat denture stomatitis, a conditi
on often associated with Candida albicans infections. Of 10 liners tested,
2 were found to inhibit the switch from the yeast form to hyphae and a thir
d was found to stimulate this snitch. The inhibitor was determined to be un
decylenic acid.
