	abstract = {The objective of the study was to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of three denture adhesives toward Streptococcus oralis, mutans, Prevotella oralis and Fusobacterium nucleatum. Adhesives used were Corega Ultra({\textregistered}), Fixodent Pro Original({\textregistered}) and Biotene({\textregistered}) Denture Grip. For Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus mutans, four tubes of Trypticase Soy Broth 10~mL and 1~g denture of adhesive were used. In addition four tubes of Trypticase Soy Broth 10~mL without any denture adhesive was employed as control. For Prevotella oralis and Fusobacterium nucleatum, four tubes of thioglycolate 10~mL and 1~g denture adhesive were used for each one, while four tubes of thioglycolate 10~mL without adhesive served as control. All samples were incubated for 48~h at 37{\textdegree}C. After 48~h, the number of colonies was counted and the mean was extracted as cfu/mL. The results were evaluated with ANOVA on ranked data and Tukey{\textquoteright}s post hoc test at α~=~0.05. Streptococcus oralis, mutans, Prevotella oralis and Fusobacterium nucleatum showed decreased number of colonies for each denture adhesive compared to the control. Under the conditions of this in vitro study, all the tested denture adhesives showed antimicrobial efficacy. However, in contrast to the hypothesis, there were differences among them. Corega Ultra({\textregistered}) and Biotene({\textregistered}) Denture Grip were more effective for all the tested oral malodor-related microbes than Fixodent Pro Original({\textregistered}).},
