Considerando a importância da atividade antimicrobiana dos materiais restauradores odontológicos, objetivou-se verificar a atividade antifúngica in vitro de Cimentos de Ionômero de Vidro (CIV) puros, associados a nistatina e ao óleo essencial de Cinnamomum zeylanicum (canela) sobre Candida albicans (ATCC 289065). Foram avaliados Vitro Fil®, Maxxion R® e Vitro Cem®. A inibição do crescimento fúngico foi dada pel...
