How Effective Are Antimicrobial Agents on Preventing the Adhesion of Candida albicans to Denture Base Acrylic Resin Materials? A Systematic Review
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In the manuscript "How effective are Antimicrobial Agents on Preventing the Adhesion of Candida Albicans to Denture Base Acrylic Resin Materials? A Narrative Review" the authors are presenting the results reported in the last 11 years regarding the efficiency of the denture materials in preventing the adhesion of fungal organisms like C. Albicans.
The paper has potential, but it can be improved.
In material and methods the authors are briefly describing the search conducted and also the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
To make it easier for the readers, the authors should try to either make a chart or a table in which to have the criteria enumerated.
Also it would be good to show in a chart after each step the number of papers found.
Also, it was mentioned that 60 papers were selected, but in the results part are presented less papers.
Although the info are presented on different type of materials, a general conclusion has to be drawn for the data reported.
If the changes mentioned are made, the paper can be considered for publication in the journal.
