Candida-associated denture stomatitis affects many denture wearers. This study identified seven Candida species, with Candida albicans being the most prevalent, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Denture stomatitis is a common oral condition associated with Candida yeast colonization.
  • Understanding the specific Candida species involved and predisposing factors is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the spectrum of Candida species causing denture stomatitis in a patient cohort.
  • To investigate potential predisposing factors associated with the condition.

Main Methods:

  • Cultivation of oral mucosal and denture surface swabs on Sabouraud glucose agar and CHROMagar Candida.
  • Identification of yeast species using germ tube, filamentous, and assimilation tests with the AuxaColor kit.

Main Results:

  • Candida species were isolated from 171 out of 240 (71.25%) patients with denture stomatitis.
  • Seven Candida species were identified: Candida albicans (95), C. tropicalis (26), C. parapsilosis (20), C. krusei (14), C. guilliermondii (12), C. lusitaniae (1), and C. freyschusii (1).
  • Predisposing factors included diabetes mellitus, neoplastic diseases, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy.
  • Conclusions:

    • Candida albicans is the predominant species in denture stomatitis.
    • Multiple Candida species can cause denture stomatitis, necessitating accurate identification for appropriate treatment.
    • Various systemic conditions and therapies significantly increase the risk of developing denture stomatitis.
