Researchers have found some treatment to eradicate Candida albicans hoping the denture stomatitis will cure for example the use of traditional plants. One of those is virgin coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil contains a lot of fatty acids that are useful to decrease the existence of the Candida albicans. These fatty acids which are lauric acids and capric acids are able to penetrate the cell membrane of Candida albicans and kill the cell. Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virgin coconut oil against the Candida albicans if it was apllied in acrylics. Method. Laboratory experimental in vitro with Sabaroud agar and Candida albicans colony from acrylics. Results. There are significance between control (aquades), virgin coconut oil 100%, 50%, 37.5 %, 25%, and 12.5%. The highest number of Candida colony is the control (208.83) while 100%, 50%, 37.5 % of virgin coconut oil are appointed as MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration)with 0 of colony. Conclusion. It was concluded that virgin coconut oil are able to reduce the colony of Candida albicans in acrylics.
