    Angular cheilitis is strongly linked to pathogenic microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. For patients with teeth, discomfort also correlates with this common lip condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Angular cheilitis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the corners of the mouth.
    • Its pathogenesis involves multiple potential factors, necessitating a re-evaluation of their relative importance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively investigate the key etiological factors contributing to the development of angular cheilitis.
    • To determine the correlation between clinical presentation, microbial presence, and patient factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective examination of 64 patients with angular cheilitis, including clinical and microbiological assessments.
    • Subsample analysis (n=23) for serum iron and transferrin levels.
    • Categorization of lesion appearance based on clinical presentation.

    Main Results:

    • Pathogenic microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, were identified in all patients.
    • Distinct clinical lesion types were observed in dentate versus denture-wearing patients.
    • A correlation was found between angular cheilitis and the presence of pathogenic microorganisms.
    • Among dentate patients, cutaneous discomfort showed a correlation with angular cheilitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Pathogenic microorganisms play a significant role in the pathogenesis of angular cheilitis.
    • Clinical presentation varies between dentate and denture-wearing individuals.
    • While other factors were considered, microbial presence and, for dentate patients, cutaneous discomfort appear most critical.
