Status of Removable Dentures and Relationship with Oral Candida-Associated Factors in a Geriatric Population in Catalonia.

Purpose: Colonization by Candida is related to wearing a denture. How denture type, status, and maintenance play a role in determining Candida colonization remains unknown. This work evaluated removable denture status in an elderly population and explored the association between denture-related factors and oral Candida colonization as determined by systemic and local factors.

Risk factors for denture-related oral mucosal lesions in a geriatric population.

Statement Of Problem: Denture-related mucosal lesions have been broadly studied. However, no consensus has been reached regarding the risk factors associated with these lesions, and few studies have used multivariable analysis to determine the relative significance of different risks.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between systemic, local, and denture factors on the risk of denture-related oral mucosal lesions in an elderly population by using multivariable analysis.
