          Abstract

          Denture stomatitis has been reported in 11-67% of complete denture wearers. It is more common on the palatal mucosa and in female patients. In Newton's type I denture stomatitis, where the inflammation remains focal, trauma seems to be responsible. In Newton's types II and III denture stomatitis, where the denture-bearing mucosa is diffusely involved, most workers assert that the aetiology is multi-factorial. Evidence is presented incriminating Candida albicans colonization of the fitting surface of the prosthesis in many cases of denture stomatitis promoted by continuous denture wearing. Allergic and primary irritant reactions to the denture base material, systemic predisposing factors including dietary deficiency and haematological disorders, also play a part. In most cases of denture stomatitis, elimination of denture faults, control of denture plaque and discontinuous denture wearing are sufficient treatment. The routine use of antiseptic or antimycotic drugs seems unnecessary.

              Nystatin and amphotericin B in the treatment of denture-related candidiasis.

              John Nairn (1975)
              A double-blind trial of nystatin, amphotericin B, and a placebo was carried out in fifty-two cases of denture-related candidiasis and/or angular cheilitis. The drugs effected a significant clinical cure, but recurrence of the signs was common after withdrawal of the drugs. Concurrent bacteriologic examination showed few cures and continued presence of Candida albicans during the trial. A specimen from a red palate was examined histologically.
