ÖZET
 Amaç: İki farklı antibakteriyel ajan ile üretilmiş kompozitlerin Candida albicans (C. albicans) adezyonunu değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Biyoaktif Cam (BAC) ve Nano-Çinko Silisyum (NÇS) içeren kompozitlerden toplamda 40 adet örnek hazırlandı (n=10). Deney grupları 1. Grup: Kontrol (antibakteriyel ajan ilavesi yok); 2. Grup: %10 BAC; 3. Grup: %10 NÇS; 4. Grup: %10 BAC +%10 NÇS olarak oluşturuldu. Her grupta örneklerin yarısına tükürükle muamele edildi, diğer yarısı distile suda bekletildi. C. albicans ATCC 14053 Sabouraud Dextrose Agar'da 37°C'de aerobik koşullarda 48 saat inkübe edildi. Örneklerin üzerine 2' şer mililitre hazırlanan maya solüsyonu dağıltıldı ve 37°C'de başlangıç adezyonu için 2 saat inkübe edildi. Mikroskobik inceleme için örnekler steril metilen mavisiyle boyandı. Bağlanması gerçekleşen maya hücreleri ışık mikroskobu altında bir araştırmacı tarafından sayıldı. Sonuçlar hücre sayısı/ alan şeklinde belirlendi. Elde edilen veriler Two-way ANOVA testi analiz edildi. Bulgular: Materyal çeşidinin C. albicans adezyonuna etkisi olduğu tespit edildi (p=0,006). Tükürükle kaplı olmasının C. albicans adezyonunda etkili olduğu saptandı (p=0,001). Tükürükle kaplı örneklerde, BAC'nın C. albicans adezyonu NÇS ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p=0,047). Tükürükle kaplı olmayan örneklerde, BAC'da kontrol grubuna göre C. albicans adezyonunu istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu tespit edildi (p=0,02). Sonuç: Farklı antibakteriyel ajan içeren kompozit gruplarının farklı miktarlarda C. albicans adezyonu gösterdikleri tespit edildi. Tükürükle muamelenin, deney gruplarında C. Albicans adezyonunu artırdığı gözlendi.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate Candida albicans (C. albicans) adhesion of composites with two different antibacterial agents. Material and Methods: A total of 40 samples were prepared from composites containing bioactive glass (BAC) and Nano- Zinc Silicium (NÇS) (n=10). Experimental groups were fabricated as Group 1: Control (no addition of antibacterial agent); Group 2: 10% BAC; Group 3: 10% NÇS; Group 4: 10% BAC+10% NÇS. In each group half of the samples were treated with saliva and the others were kept in distilled water. C. albicans ATCC 14053 was incubated at 37C for 48 hours in aerobic conditions on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. 2 mL of prepared yeast solution was dispersed onto the samples and incubated for 2 hours at 37C for initial adhesion. The samples were stained with sterile methylene blue. Attached yeast cells were counted by a researcher under light microscopy. The results were determined as cell number/area. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA test. Results: Material type had an effect on C. albicans adhesion (p=0.006). Saliva coated was effective on C. albicans adhesion (p=0.001). There was a significantly difference between BAC-NÇS in saliva-coated samples (p=0.047). C. albicans adhesion on BAC was found statistically significant than control group in non-saliva samples (p<0.05). Conclusion: Composite groups which contain different antibacterial agents showed different amounts of C. Albicans adhesion. It was observed that treatment with saliva increased C. albicans adhesion in experimental groups.
