Evaluation and Comparison of Ketoconazole and Alkaline Glutaraldehyde Effects on Candida albicans Adherence to Three Denture Base Materials: An In Vitro Study

Both ketoconazole and alkaline glutaraldehyde effectively reduced <i>C. albicans</i> adherence, but alkaline glutaraldehyde demonstrated a faster and more potent antimicrobial action, particularly on injectable denture materials, making it suitable for rapid disinfection. Ketoconazole showed gradual and sustained efficacy, which is ideal for long-term fungal control.
