Objective To research the effects of incorporating tetrapod-like zinc oxide whisker(T-ZnOw) of different proportions on the antibacterial activity of different kinds of soft denture liners. Methods The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration(MBC) of T-ZnOw against Saccharomyces albicans(S.albicans) were examined by the broth dilution test. Add T-ZnOw 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% to Silagum soft denture liners and soft denture liners respectively. The antimicrobial rate of S.albicans was determined by the membrane covering method. Results The MIC of T-ZnOw against S.albicans was 78 μg·mL-1 and the MBC was 156 μg·mL-1. Comparing 1%,2%,3% T-ZnOw group with control group, the results showed significant difference(P
