“…Therefore, the treatment should be strategized the use of topical and systemic antifungal drugs, the use of preservatives and disinfectants, and the scrupulous removal and control of Candida species present on the denture and on the oral mucosa [16,17]. Risk of stomatitis should be decreased which used antimicrobial coating of dentures, but cannot prevent biofilm development.…”

Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) application of dental treatment technologies has recently gained much interest. However, information regarding safety, applications, and how they work is limited. In this study, we examined the inhibitory activity of CAP against Candida albican. The Ar gas has been discharged by CAP of 100 KHz and has been produced inside 4 L/min. The system was operated with the HVRF power input 20 W and treatments of 0, 5, 10, 15 min for samples. The Candida albican standard strain used in this experiment was ATCC 10231. In order to assess the inhibitory activity of CAP against Candida albican, we employed 2 methods; the colony number count and MTT colorimetric assay. The colonies of Candida albican standard strain ATCC 10231 were significantly at 5, 10 and 15 min exposure of CAP (p < 0.05) as compared to un-treatment. According to the result of MTT colorimetric assay, we found that cell viability was significant after 10 min exposure as compared to un-treatment (p < 0.05). In summary, the overall results stated that CAP possesses the inhibitory activity against Candida albican standard strain ATCC 10231 at 100 KHz, 20 W after 5 min.

“…Therapy approach is complex due to multifactorial etiology, but some basic postulates in the therapy of these changes involve the use of local and systemic antifungal drugs, the use of disinfectants, the maintenance of adequate oral hygiene and hygiene of the prosthesis (7,9,16).…”

“…Among them there are C. dubliniensis, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata (5,6). Their primary localization is on the dorsal side of the tongue and on the oral mucosa, while the biofilm covering the surface of the teeth colonizes secondary (7). Increased use of antifungal drugs in the treatment of candidiasis has lead to that non-albicans Candida species can also contribute to the development of this infection (8).…”

“…Particularly important is the state of immunodeficiency, in which Candida becomes more virulent and leads to the formation of oral candidiasis, including one or more places in the oral cavity (7). The most significant immunodeficiency are HIV infection, hereditary deficiency of myeloperoxidase and some syndromes, such as DiGeorge's syndrome (12).…”

“…As for the effect of saliva on C. albicans adhesion on the prosthesis surface, this effect is still controversial (7,16,18). Saliva plays an important role in mechanical cleansing and contains certain innate immune molecules such as lysosomes, lactoferrin, calprotectin, and IgA immunoglobulin, which reduce adhesion of C. albicans for oral surfaces (2,19).…”

Denture stomatitis is the most common inflammatory reaction that occurs in people who wear dentures. It is believed that in 60-65% of cases the cause of this inflammation is infections by yeasts from the genus Candida (C.), primarily Candida albicans infection. C. albicans is a part of the normal microflora of the respiratory and digestive tract. This yeast has the ability to adhere to the oral mucosa and to the base of the denture, as well as to form a biofilm. Its virulence is especially supported by the state of weakened resistance of the organism, when C. albicans expresses its pathological effect. This paper presents the pathogenesis of C. albicans-associated denture stomatitis, as well as the most common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures used to diagnose and successful therapy.

Objectives To answer to the following questions: is there any relationship between oral hygiene and the growth of yeast in patients without mucosal inflammation; and is there a need for mycological examination patients without mucosal inflammation? Background Patients with candidiasis may report varied symptoms, but such infections are most often asymptomatic. In addition to its high incidence in denture users (60%–100%), there is a concern that Candida species from the oral cavity may colonize the upper gastrointestinal tract and lead to septicemia, which has a 40%–79% mortality rate and can require a prolonged hospital stay. It is thus important for all physicians to be aware of the risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of oral candidiasis in older patients. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on a group of patients who had undergone mycological examination and assessment of the intensity of yeast growth, and oral hygiene. Results Ninety-one denture wearers who lacked signs of clinical inflammation were included in the study. The growth of Candida albicans was as follows: 14 patients had up to 20 colonies; 19 patients had over 20 colonies. Ten percent of patients with good oral hygiene proved to have more than 20 yeast colonies. 5% of patients with bad oral hygiene had more than 20 colonies. Conclusions There was no relationship found between hygiene and the growth rate of fungal microorganisms. In patients without clinical symptoms of stomatitis, mycological examination should be considered.
