“…The presence of folds and wrinkles will accommodate saliva in which the presence of C. albicans and other contaminants causes a bacterial or viral infection. 7,8,9 Poor oral hygiene, old age, and smoking habits are the main contributing factors to our patient's loss of teeth were responsive with the chlorine dioxide dental gel and 2) other studies mention that angular cheilitis with candida infection is more common in elderly with dentures. 19 The patient was then referred to an internist for management of DM.…”

“…5 Angular cheilitis is characterized by painful fissure, inflammation on one or both corners of the mouth, and typically presents as erythema, scaling, fissuring, and ulceration. 7,8 If all the teeth in the maxilla are lost, vertical dimensions will decrease because of the absence of occlusion between upper and lower teeth. The combination of bone resorption, muscle atrophy, and tooth loss will cause a reduction in the distance between the nose and chin.…”

“…A twenty year old female with less hemoglobin count of 8g/dl, suffering with angular cheilitis responded well to the oral ferrous gluconate 300 mg taken twice daily. During the two year follow up course, no recurrence of angular cheilitis lesions were recorded [41]. Similarly,When patients with both angular cheilitis and low serum folate levels were treated with supplementary folic acids, the lesions disappeared in just a month [42].…”

“…However, to date, no research on serum minerals or vitamins has been conducted on patients with cheilitis, except for a handful of individual case reports. Thus, in the case of a 20‐year‐old patient who had painful erythematous erosions in the corners of the lips for 4 months (without symptoms of dysphagia and fatigue), a short serum test found decreased haemoglobin, erythrocyte volume and ferritin (regular vitamin B12 and folic acid), suggesting that angular cheilitis was a consequence of sideropenic anemia (Ayesh, 2018). Sideropenic anemia is one of the symptoms of Plummer–Vinson syndrome, a disease which often includes angular cheilitis due to iron deficiency, and thus, iron replacement therapy is necessary (Phatak et al, 2012).…”

“…Various systemic diseases and conditions may also involve lip inflammation, as well vitamin and mineral deficiencies such as iron (e.g. sideropenic anemia) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) deficiencies (Oakley, 2020; Schlosser et al, 2011; Ayesh, 2018). A vitamin B2 deficiency, in particular, can trigger the occurrence of angular cheilitis and is therefore also called cheilitis ariboflavinus (Oakley, 2020; Schlosser et al, 2011; Ayesh, 2018).…”
