Abstract

The capability of the Candida albicans Candida (CAC) to colonize surfaces can be signify as a risk factor for oral infection, thus, denture wearing approves of a stable factor that can affect oral health status...

Highlights

Dentures have an effect on the features of the oral cavity microenvironment, change to the oral mucosa can outcome from denturemediated mechanical tenderness or inflammation stimulated by denture-related materials [1,2,3,4]
There was a significant oral Candida albicans colonization rate (OCAC) among denture wearers equaled to 61.5% comparing with 33.6% among non-denture wearers with a significant association (OR) of OCAC =3.2, and PV
Based on the results of this study ability of OCAC were greater in denture wearers than non-denture wearers, greater risk of OCAC found with males, older ages and wearing complete denture

Summary

Introduction

Dentures have an effect on the features of the oral cavity microenvironment, change to the oral mucosa can outcome from denturemediated mechanical tenderness or inflammation stimulated by denture-related materials [1,2,3,4]. Candida species found to be in 25-50% of the oral cavity of healthy persons, are one of the main causes of microorganism biofilm formation on dentures and catheters and isolated from about 80% of the microorganisms isolated from the oral mucosa of denture wearers [5]. Denture-related structural factors, including vertical dimensions, material integrity and fit, influence yeast colonization and subsequent denturerelated stomatitis [6,10,13,14]. It is well-known stomatitis has been reported in higher rate in denture wearers, and even though it is in general asymptomatic, it is associated with pseudo membrane (thrush), leukoplakia, formation, angular cheilitis and erythema [15]. The capability of the Candida albicans Candida (CAC) to colonize surfaces can be signify as a risk factor for oral infection, denture wearing approves of a stable factor that can affect oral health status
