Adhesion of Candida Albicans to digital versus conventional acrylic resins: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background The present systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the available evidence about the adherence of Candida Albicans to the digitally-fabricated acrylic resins (both milled and 3D-printed) compared to the conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resins. Methods This study followed the...
