Phase 1 clinical trial on the effect of palatal brushing on denture stomatitis.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of palatal brushing in the treatment of denture stomatitis.

Materials And Methods: After screening 143 individuals with a potential diagnosis of denture stomatitis, 48 patients (mean age: 66.0 ± 11.

Development of an evidence-based prosthodontic record: an action research study.

This study sought to develop a database in the field of removable prosthodontics by using a participatory action research method. Data collection consisted of a comprehensive literature review, focus-group discussions, and interviews. Applying action research methods ensures consideration of the needs, perspectives, and expertise of academia in the design and implementation of an evidence/ research-based patient record, and academic educators are well placed to conduct such research.

The association of denture stomatitis and partial removable dental prostheses: a systematic review.

Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the evidence on the occurrence of denture stomatitis (DS) and potential risk factors in patients wearing partial removable dental prostheses (RDPs).

Materials And Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched and complemented by manual searching. Outcome measures were the presence of DS in patients wearing partial RDPs and an assessment of associated risk factors.

The relationship of myceliated colonies of Candida albicans with denture stomatitis: an in vivo/in vitro study.

Purpose: Switching from smooth to myceliated colonies, a virulent trait of Candida albicans, may be implicated in Candida-associated denture stomatitis. The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship between the presence of denture stomatitis and the frequency of myceliated colonies of C. albicans isolates in denture wearers.

Reassessing the presence of Candida albicans in denture-related stomatitis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to reevaluate the link between Candida albicans and denture-related stomatitis according to a modified Newton classification, which reflects the classic types of inflammation as well as the extent to which the tissue is affected.

Study Design: Two groups of denture wearers were evaluated for denture-related stomatitis. The presence and number of yeasts on the dentures, the identification of the Candida species present, and the amount of plaque coverage were determined.
