The oral distribution of candida in denture stomatitis

Adhesion of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to acrylic and hydroxyapatite

“…Denture stomatitis is common among denture wearers. Numerous yeasts are commonly found on the palatal surface of the denture [8] and this supports the theory that the upper denture acts as a reservoir for infection. Thus, it is of major importance to study the adhesion of Candida spp.…”

An In vitro Comparative Evaluation of Disinfectants on Standard and Clinical Microbial Strains on Heat Cure Resins

“…Its presence out of this oral cavity may be used as a contamination indicator [3]. Candida albicans (due to traumatising prosthesis, unsatisfactory oral hygiene conditions and systemic factors) is associated with denture stomatitis; a very common problem associated with denture wearers [3,[8][9][10][11][12]. Therefore, literature focuses on this micro-organism not only as a cross infection problem, but also as a denture stomatitis related factor.…”

“…The micro-organisms namely Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans were studied since they are common commensals of oral cavity. The selection of micro-organisms was based on the pathogenic potential or representative importance for antimicrobial effectiveness evaluation studies [5,6,[8][9][10].…”

“…Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans are common inhabitants of oral microflora and are known to adhere to acrylic denture surfaces and to mucosa [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Evaluation of Effect of Oral Microorganism on Surface Topography of Arylic Resin Denture Base Materialby Three Dimensional Profilometry Using Laser Triangulation Sensor- In Vitro Study

“…14,16,17,18 these yeasts are present in the saliva of a majority of denture wearers and display an affinity for adherence to acrylic resin. They not only hamper the smoothness of acrylic surface but also responsible for denture stomatitis, Cahn 1936, Callar 1945.…”
