The observation that denture stomatitis could be closely associated with infections by oral microbes, especially Candida, suggested that interferon (IFN) might be produced patients with atrophic denture stomatitis. We measured the saliva level of IFN in 24juvenile patients affected or not with denture stomatitis (erythema score 0-3) and 26 healthy children. No salivary IFN activity was found ex...

(1999) Genetic typing of Candida albicans strains isolated from the oral cavity of patients with denture stomatitis before and after itraconazole therapy. This study determined, by molecular typing of C. albicans species isolated from denture stomatitis patients with a mycological relapse six months after successful itraconazole therapy, whether there had been recurrence of infection with the s...

BACKGROUND Wearing a dental prosthesis is known to increase oral candidal colonization and predispose the wearer to oral candidosis. Denture wearers frequently use fingers to take the prosthesis out of their mouth. Oral Candida, if present may contaminate wearer's finger. The objective of this study was to investigate the simultaneous candidal colonization of oral cavity and fingertips of compl...

AIM Denture stomatitis is a common and recurring problem of denture wearers. Ketoconazole tablet is one of the antimycotic drugs that often has been used to treat this condition, but systemic use of this drug has some adverse effects that frequently lead to unfavorable compliance and treatment failure. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of topical ketoconazole 2% in orabase and ket...

Denture-induced stomatitis in children was studied microbiologically. Quantitative cultural studies on Candida and bacteria were done in 17 denture wearers with or without palatal denture-induced stomatitis (erythema score 0-3) and in 16 healthy nondenture wearers. It was found that significantly higher numbers of Candida both in denture plaque and in saliva were cultured from the denture weare...

Denture stomatitis is a common inflammatory reaction affecting denture wearers, multifactorial etiology, which is usually associated with Candida species, particularly Candida albicans. The treatment of Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is difficult and complex due to its multifactorial etiology, common recurrences, as well as the lack of antifungal drug efficacy. This review aims to...

When denture is worn in the mouth for considerable period of time, it will become colonized with microorganisms and causing denture stomatitis, it is commonly found in the maxillary arch, rarely in the mandibular arch, and it is not uncommon under removable partial denture base in the maxillary arch. Denture trauma, allergy, poor oral hygiene, PH level of saliva, age, sex, smoking and immune sy...
