ABSTRACT
THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Was to assess the microbial colonization and biofilm-forming activity of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms in vitro to samples of acrylic-free thermoplastic polymer material and to assess the possibility of its use for the manufacture of removable tooth splinting structures by injection method. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The reference strains S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. pyogenes, E. faecalis, E. coli, and C. albicans. Biofilm-forming activity was assessed by the level of ethanol extraction of a 0.1% aqueous solution of gentian violet by measuring on a PowerWave X microplate reader (USA). RESULTS: A low degree of severity of microbial colonization and sufficient colonization resistance to the formation of a microbial biofilm of E. coli (0.374±0.056 cu opt. Pl.), S. aureus (0.272±0.039 cu. Opt. Pl.), S. epidermdis (0.299±0.028 cu opt. Pl.), S. ryogenes (0.399±0.069 cu opt. Pl.), E. faecalis (0.401±0.089 cu opt. Pl.). Moreover, C. albicans strains form a more pronounced biofilm (0.425±0.104 cu opt. Pl.) in comparison with other strains studied in the experiment. CONCLUSION: Samples from a thermoplastic polymer based on polyoxymethylene have satisfactory biomedical characteristics and can be used at the stages of dental orthopedic treatment of patients without oral candidiasis.

The examination was carried out in the Moscow clinical infectious hospital No 2 concerning 102 patients with verified diagnosis "AIDS-infection" and seropositive according results of detection of anti-HIV-antibodies in blood serum. The study was organized to analyze rate ofcolonization of gums with virulent anaerobic bacteria in HIV-infected (polymerase chain reaction) and antibodies to HIV in gingival fluid (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). It is established that in HIV-infected patients, in scrape from gingival sulcus dominate anaerobic bacteria P. gigngivalis and A. ctinomycetemcomitans and in case of periodontitis--P. gingivalis and T. forsythia. The received data permits recommending the test-system "Multident-5" for polymerase chain reaction diagnostic. The reagents kit "Calypte®HIV-1/2"--for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay gingival fluid. The results of polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have no impact of concomitant stomatological (periodontitis, gingivitis) and somatic pathology.
