Objective: to study the adhesion of oral microflora and the degree of penetration into the structure of the basis of structural polymers in a comparative perspective. Material and methods. The object of the study is based on samples representative of the modern basis of polymers subjected to contamination by microorganisms in the experiment. Assessment of the quality of the resulting surface samples of basic dental polymer after polishing using a scanning ion microscope. The study of adhesion of microorganisms on the surface of the samples was performed in the experiment in vitro by the method of V. N. Zarev, 2006. Fluorescence imaging was held to study microbial penetration into the interior of polymers of microorganisms using a confocal laser scanning microscope. Results of the study revealed a degree of adhesion and penetration of microorganisms to the surface and the structure of the base polymer. Conclusion. The findings suggest the importance of final basic polymers. Thermoplastic polymers are characterized by complex processing, concerning promote greater adhesion and infiltration of microorganisms into the interior of the construction in comparison with the acrylic polymers.
