statement of the problem recent studies have shown a relation between some abo blood types and increased susceptibility to fungal infections. purpose the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of blood groups in patients with denture stomatitis. materials and methods in this descriptive cross-sectional study, diagnosis of denture stomatitis in 100 patients with complete denture, was m...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of denture stomatitis has been shown to vary from 15 to 65% in complete denture wearers. Satureja hortensis L. has been considered to have antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antimicrobial activities in vitro and exhibits strong inhibitory effect on the growth of periodontal bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 1% gel formula...

Introduction.The prosthetic stomatitis is a multietiological condition. The clinical manifestation could be the same nevertheless what is the etiology and at the same time one and the same reason could result in different clinical manifestation. The purpose of this investigation is to establish the frequency of denture stomatitis, its etiology, diagnosis and treatment. Materials and methods. Th...

Candida-associated denture stomatitis is the most common form of oral candidal infection, with Candida albicans being the principal etiological agent. Candida adheres directly or via an intermediary layer of plaque-forming bacteria to denture acrylic. Despite antifungal therapy to treat denture stomatitis, infection is reestablished soon after the treatment ceases. In addition, many predisposin...

Denture stomatitis, a common oral disease, can induce pathologic changes to the denture-bearing tissues. These tissue changes can vary from localized hyperemia to diffused erythema to papillary hyperplasia [1,2]. Patients with severe denture stomatitis may experience pain, itching, and/or burning sensation [3-5]. Studies have shown that the prevalence of denture stomatitis in the edentulous pop...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of Candida spp. in diabetics and nondiabetics with and without denture stomatitis (DS). STUDY DESIGN Mycologic samples were taken from the dentures of 90 healthy subjects (control group [CG]), 80 denture stomatitis nondiabetics (DSND), and 40 denture stomatitis diabetics (DSD; well controlled type 2) for identification of Candida s...

background: natural products are proved to play a good role as an alternative to synthetic chemicals in clinical conditions. previous studies showed that pelargonium graveolens has anti-inflammatory and antifungal activity against candida albicans . the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of essential oil of pelargonium graveolens in the treatment of denture stomatitis . materials an...

The most common form of oral candidiasis, denture-associated stomatitis, involves biofilm growth on an oral prosthetic surface. Cells in this unique environment are equipped to withstand host defenses and survive antifungal therapy. Studies of the biofilm process on dentures have primarily been limited to in vitro models. We developed a rodent acrylic denture model and characterized the Candida...

Denture stomatitis is an ordinaty disease among pacients that use removable dentures. These caracterized by hiperemia, edema and moderate to intense inflamation. The etiology of denture has many causes, but it a direct relationship with the total denture. Of nine pacients, four them had their dentures exchanged five removed at night for desinfection using 1% hipoclorite solution. Both treatment...
