Materials and methods: A total of 80 disc-shaped (2 x 10 mm) polymethymethacrylate samples were prepared and divided into four groups with 10 samples in each group (Control, ZnO, SnO2, Ag) (n = 10). Using thermionic vacuum arc plasma, they were coated with ZnO, SnO 2, and Ag. 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and Crystal Viole (CV) assays were conducted for biofilm quantification. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe biofilm images of C. albicans biofilm. Results: MTT and CV mean values differ statistically significantly between all groups (p <= 0.05). The SnO2 group had the lowest mean value, whereas the control group received the highest value. Conclusion: SnO2 coating shown greater anti-adherent activity than either metal oxides.
