Background: The present study was conducted with the purpose of comparative evaluation of the efficacy of clove oil and glutaraldehyde on addition silicon contaminated with Candida albicans. On intercomparison of all four groups (distilled water, glutaraldehyde, hypochlorite, and clove oil) dimensionally, no difference was found, whereas disinfectant property of 100% clove oil is almost same as that of 2% glutaraldehyde. Materials and Methods: Addition silicone impression material, Clove oil, Digital Vernier Caliper, Die stone (type Ⅳ), and C. albicans strain were taken. The test conducted: I) For disinfection – After incubation, the grown fungal colonies of C. albicans on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar were counted using colony counter and II) for dimensional accuracy – 15 sample to measure the distance between buccal cusp tip of mandibular 1st molar to opposite arch buccal cusp of mandibular 1st molar and measure and mandibular 1st molar to mesial tip of the central incisor with Digital Vernier Caliper. The data were subjected to statistical analysis using independent t-test and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test. Results: Significant difference was found between 2% glutaraldehyde and 100 % clove oil and disinfectant property of 2% glutaraldehyde was same as that of 100% clove oil extract. On comparison microbiological mean value, it was observed that mean value of Group – I, distilled water was 204.67, Group – II, glutaraldehyde was 0.20, group – III, hypochlorite was 0.33, and Group – IV, clove oil was 0.27. Thus, there are very negligible changes observed when compared with glutaraldehyde, hypochlorite, and clove oil. Significantly, the ANOVA test shows P = 0.000. Conclusion: The present study was carried out with the purpose of comparative evaluation of the efficacy of clove oil and glutaraldehyde on addition silicone impression material contaminated with C. albicans. Furthermore we conclude that, disinfectant property of 2% glutaraldehyde was same as that of 100% clove oil extract.
