“…It includes local and systemic factors related to the host and to the Candida capability to adhere and proliferate in the host epithelial tissues (6). Candida-associated denture stomatitis is able to rise up when the conditions of the micro oral environment are favourable for the growth and the adhesion of the yeast and also when systemic factors of the host bring to a depression of the mechanisms of defence.…”

“…Candida, therefore, plays a key pathogenetic role in the onset of the denture stomatitis, even if the cooperative role practiced by the bacterial plaque present on the denture must not be neglected (12). Adhesion The ability of Candida to pass through the tissues is the first step of the infectious process (6,14). It has been observed that the forms endowed with hyphae are able to stick and to invade more quickly the tissues of the host.…”

Candida albicans is a dimorphic yeast strongly gram positive able to live as normal commensal organism in the oral cavity of healthy people. It is the yeast more frequently isolated in the oral cavity. Under local and systemic factors related to the host conditions, it becomes virulent and responsible of oral diseases known as oral candidiasis. It has been shown that the presence of denture is a predisposing factor to the onset of pathologies related to C. albicans. Clinical studies have shown that C. albicans is not only able to adhere to the mucous surfaces, but also to stick to the acrylic resins of the dental prostheses. Both the plaque accumulated on the denture and the poor oral hygiene contribute to the virulence of Candida, offering the clinical picture of Candida-associated denture stomatitis. The therapeutic strategies currently adopted in the clinical practice to overcome these fungal infections provide for the use of topical and/or systemic antifungal and topical antiseptics and disinfectants, the irradiation with microwaves and the accurate mechanical removal of the bacterial plaque from the denture surfaces and from the underlying mucosa. A correct oral hygiene is important for the control of the bacterial biofilm present on the denture and on the oral mucosa and it is the fundamental base for the prophylaxis and the therapy of the Candidaassociated denture stomatitis.

“…Denture plaque derived from oral microorganisms adhering to the denture surface contains the fungus Candida albicans (C. albicans), which is known as one of the major causes of denture stomatitis [1][2][3] . Removal of this fungus may be effective for the treatment and prevention of denture stomatitis 4) .…”

Effect of incorporation of surface pre-reacted glass ionomer filler in tissue conditioner on the inhibition of <i>Candida albicans</i> adhesion

et al. 2018

We investigated the effects of incorporation of surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler in tissue conditioner (TC) on Candida albicans adhesion. We prepared specimens containing 0, 5, 10, or 20 wt% of S-PRG filler, and measured the amount of C. albicans on the surface using a colony forming unit (CFU) assay and scanning electron microscopic images. In addition, we measured the consistency, penetration depth, and surface roughness (Ra). CFU values for 10 and 20 wt% were significantly lower than that for the control (p<0.05). Hyphal density on the surface was greater in the control. The 10 and 20 wt% specimens showed significantly higher consistency and Ra, lower penetration depth ratio than control (p<0.05). These results suggest that incorporation of S-PRG filler may reduce C. albicans adhesion onto TC surface; however, the optimal amount of filler is dictated by the influence of filler incorporation on mechanical and surface characters of TC.

“…Critical local risk factors are deficient oral hygiene, nighttime prosthesis wearing, old dentures, prosthesis instability, and traumatism [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Candida spp., a normal commensal microorganism in oral cavity, can be the pathogenic agent because of the ability to adhere and proliferate through the tissues of oral cavity [2,[6][7][8].…”
