Denture stomatitis, a common disorder affecting denture wearers, is characterized as inflammation and erythema of the oral mucosal areas covered by the denture. Despite its commonality, the etiology of denture stomatitis is not completely understood. A search of the literature was conducted in the PubMed electronic database (through November 2009) to identify relevant articles for inclusion in ...

Denture stomatitis is the most common oral disorder found in denture wearers. It is usually associated with presence of Candida albicans infection. The study was carried out of (70) denture wearers to determine the effect of local predisposing factors, the oral and denture hygiene habits, age of denture and age of denture wearers and degree of Candida colonization on the denture surface to deve...

Definition Denture-related stomatitis indicates an inflammatory process of the mucosa that bears a complete or partial removable dental appliance, typically a denture. Since it was described as “sore mouth under plates”, several terms have been used in the past to define this condition: “chronic denture palatitis”, “stomatitis prothetica”, “denture related candidiasis” “denture-induced stomatit...

Denture stomatitis is a benign condition, usually asymptomatic, that can affect edentulous patients. Studies have reported a prevalence of denture stomatitis affecting over 75% of denture wearers and, whilst the aetiology may be multifactorial, Candida albicans has a strong association with the condition, along with denture trauma and poor denture hygiene being associated local risk factors. Th...

Denture stomatitis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the mucosa underlying complete dentures. It is associated with denture microbial biofilm, poor denture hygiene, poor denture quality, and nocturnal denture use. Numerous treatment methodologies have been used to treat stomatitis; however, a gold standard treatment has not been identified. The aim of this systematic review is to rep...

Candida-associated denture stomatitis is an infectious inflammatory condition of the oral mucosa, with frequent recurrences. The aim of this study was to assess the use of infrared thermography as investigation method for Candida-associated denture stomatitis (as inflammatory disorder of the maxillary denture bearing area), by comparing disease and non-disease groups. An observational study was...

denture stomatotos os a common problem of the denture wears, and it's etiology is not clear from the literatures. some studies show that the aetiology is candida albicans, while other reports point out the other agents including candida albicans. the present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of oral candidiasis in patients using complete denture with different datas. 50 subject...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Denture stomatitis is the common form of oral candidiasis, which is seen in the form of diffused inflammation in the areas covered by dentures. Many primary studies report the prevalence of denture stomatitis and candida albicans among patients in the Iranian population; therefore, using meta-analysis is valuable for health policy makers. PURPOSE The purpose of the pr...

The aim of this study was to isolate and identify Candida species from the oral cavity of denture wearers with denture-related stomatitis who were attended at the University Federal of Pará (Belém City, Pará State, Brazil). A total of 36 denture wearers with denture-related stomatitis were included, and type I (50%), type II (33%) and type III (17%) stomatitis were observed. Candida spp. were i...
