“…From the 45 studies selected, we excluded 27 studies (Figure 2): 15 studies were not focused on DAES (Graser, 1984;Schou et al, 1989;Weitz et al, 1992;Salonen et al, 1996;Naert et al, 1999;Seoane et al, 1999;Frenkel et al, 2001;Lo Muzio et al, 2001;García-Pola Vallejo et al, 2002;Simons et al, 2002;Peroz et al, 2003;Pearson et al, 2007;Silva-Lovato et al, 2010;Srinivasan and Gulabani, 2010;Nissan et al, 2011), one was a protocol of a systematic review (Hugo et al, 2005), five were in vitro studies (Budtz-Jörgensen, 1977;Mähönen et al, 1998;Ebadian et al, 2008;Ferreira et al, 2009;Redding et al, 2009) and six other studies (Hedegard, 1976;Felber and Gasser, 1983;Carlino et al, 1992;Emami et al, 2008;Simunović-Soskić et al, 2010) including a duplicated one (Cross et al, 2000a,b).…”

Candida species (spp) are commensal yeast that can only instigate oral infection (oral candidosis - OC) when there is an underlying predisposing condition in the host. We investigated four controversial topics on OC: (i) How can a microbiological determination of OC be made as Candida spp. are commensal yeasts and not all of them form hyphae or pseudohyphae during infection? (ii) Is median rhomboid glossitis (MRG) a manifestation of candidal infection? (iii) Can candidal infection cause palate papillary hyperplasia (PPH)? (iv) What is the best therapeutic treatment for denture-associated erythematous stomatitis (DAES)? Results from extensive literature searches, including a systematic review, suggested the following: (i) the diagnosis of OC merely on the basis of the presence of yeasts is an oversimplification of a complex process. No convincing evidence of a single test or method better able to discriminate the transition from candidal saprophytism to pathogenicity has been reported in the literature; (ii-iii) conclusive evidence of a direct aetiopathogenic relationship between MRG and PPH and candidal infection has not been found; and (iv) only limited evidence is available for any DAES treatment, thus making it impossible to make strong therapeutic recommendations.

“…19,20 Edentulism is a common feature in older subjects, 1-6 particularly in institutionalized older people. [1][2][3][4] Although accumulation of plaque on dentures is known to be a causative agent for oral infections, especially denturerelated stomatitis, 31,32 and to act as a reservoir of bacteria and fungi that are implicated in the development of aspiration pneumonia in hospitalized older people, 7,33,34 a surprisingly small number of studies has been conducted to evaluate whether edentate older people with poor hand motor skills have more plaque on their dentures than older people with good hand function. The existing evidence is far from conclusive but indicates that institutionalized older people who reported difficulties performing oral hygiene more frequently had denture stomatitis.…”
