Denture plaque harboring Candida can lead to oral infections like thrush and stomatitis, and potentially affect teeth and gums. This review clarifies terminology for better understanding of denture-related oral health issues.

Area of Science:

  • Oral microbiology
  • Infectious diseases
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Denture plaque is a complex biofilm that can harbor pathogenic microorganisms.
  • Candida species, particularly Candida albicans, are frequently found in denture plaque.
  • The presence of Candida in the oral cavity is associated with various infections and conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review the history and characteristics of denture plaque.
  • To identify concerns associated with Candida in denture plaque.
  • To clarify terminology related to denture plaque and associated conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles on Candida albicans and denture plaque.
  • Selection of articles from referred journals focusing on oral, gastrointestinal, and pleuropulmonary infections.

  • Inclusion of studies examining the relationship to caries and periodontal disease.

    • Main Results:

    • Denture plaque with Candida can cause oral candidiasis (thrush, denture stomatitis) and potentially caries and periodontitis.
    • Limited experimental data exists on the cariogenicity of Candida.
    • Swallowing or aspirating microorganisms from denture plaque poses risks, especially for immunocompromised individuals and the elderly.

    Conclusions:

    • The term 'plaque on denture' is preferred over 'denture plaque' due to similarities with dental plaque.
    • 'Denture-related stomatitis' is recommended over 'denture-induced stomatitis' as inflammation is linked to wearing dentures or plaque presence.
    • Understanding denture plaque composition and associated risks is crucial for patient health, particularly for vulnerable populations.
