Denture stomatitis is increased dramatically in the recent years, particularly denture wearers. It a common inflammatory reaction with multifactorial etiology that usually appears oral cavity as an erythematous on mucosa extends to limits of maxillary denture-bearing area. Candida albicans regarded primary cause denture-associated owing its high capability adhere tissues and surfaces addition b...

While investigation of the microbiome on natural oral surfaces has generated a wealth of information, few studies have examined the microbial communities colonizing dentures and their relationship to oral health. To address this knowledge gap, we characterized the bacterial community associated with dentures and remaining teeth in healthy individuals and patients with denture stomatitis. The mi...

background: artemisia is a herbal plant that its anticandidal effect has been investigated in different studies. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of artemisia sieberi mouth wash on denture stomatitis.methods: this double blind clinical trial study was performed on 30 patients with denture stomatitis (type ii, iii). they were randomly divided into two groups. the patients in contro...

Dentures can produce a number of ecological changes in the oral cavity by accumulating microbial plaque on and in the fitting surface of the denture. Denture stomatitis consists of mild inflammation and erythema of the mucosa beneath a dental appliance, usually an upper complete denture. The condition is generally symptomless, but when symptoms are present they may appear as burning sensation, ...

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Denture Stomatitis and Recovery after Antifungal Treatment

OBJECTIVE Candida-associated denture stomatitis is a very common disease affecting denture wearers. It is characterized by the presence of yeast biofilm on the denture, primarily associated with C. albicans. The investigation of agents that can reduce C. albicans adhesion may represent a significant advancement in the prevention and treatment of this disease. This study aims to investigate the ...

AIM To determine microbial prevalence in the mucous membrane and prosthesis of denture wearers with and without denture stomatitis and to study its relationship with potential clinical cofactors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Saliva was collected from 200 patients (100 female and 100 male) wearing dental prosthesis for measurement of pH. Oral samples of the mucous membrane and of dentures were taken ...

Dear Readers, Denture-induced stomatitis is the most common type of oral candidosis and the most frequent mucosal alteration associated with complete or removable partial dentures in the elderly. Despite being an infection of multifactorial etiology, this condition has as main etiological factor the colonization of denture-bearing mucosa and acrylic bases by species of Candida spp., especially ...

The underlying causes of denture stomatitis may be related to the long-term use of adhesives, which may predispose individuals to oral candidiasis. In this study, we hypothesize that antimicrobial peptides and antifungal antibiotics have diminished anti-Candida activities in denture adhesive. To show this, nine antimicrobial peptides and five antifungal antibiotics with and without 1.0% denture...
