Considering the disadvantages of chemical cleaning agents used for disinfection or reducing biofilm on prostheses, further studies are needed. So, the objective of this study is to evaluate the capability of biofilm formation on an denture acrylic resin after immersion in disinfectant soap solution in different concentrations and at different periods of time.
