AB  - We evaluated effectiveness of tea tree oil (TO) and lemongrass oil (LO) for 
      removal of Candida biofilm from denture base resin and their influence on that 
      surface. Biofilm of C. albicans was formed on resins, and immersed in various 
      concentrations of each oil and distilled water (DW). The biofilm removal effect 
      was determined by incubating specimens in RPMI medium containing Alamar blue (AB) 
      and measuring absorbance. Wear test was also conducted, and surface condition of 
      resins was determined using laser scanning microscope and digital microscope. 
      Specimens immersed in the TO and LO solutions tended to have a lower AB value at 
      higher concentrations and longer soaking times. Use of these agents resulted in 
      less surface roughness as compared to DW. Our results suggest that TO and LO were 
      valid to remove biofilm attached to resin with lower levels of abrasion, and 
      these are effective for use in denture cleaner.
