Candida species are considered the primary causative agents of denture stomatitis, but their role in colonization and disease in denture wearers remains undefined. In this study, we investigated risk factors associated with progression to Candida-related denture stomatitis in patients using complete dentures, and we genetically identified Candida isolates associated with disease and colonization. We recruited 114 retirement home residents for this study, from whom oral mucosa samples were collected and cultured following oral cavity exams. Morphologic analysis was used to identify potential yeast-positive cultures, which were then characterized further by RFLP analysis. C. albicans was the most frequently recovered species (61; 41.5%), followed by C. glabrata (27; 18.4%), and C. tropicalis (19; 12.9%). In addition, 16 isolates (10.9%) of C. dubliniensis were recovered, which was the first identification of this species in clinical samples from Iran. This study demonstrated a significant association between the duration of denture wear and oral candidiasis. Furthermore, we noted a high prevalence of C. dubliniensis in complete denture wearers.

Conventional complete denture wearers often complain of lack of stability and overall discomfort with their prostheses. The advent of dental implants and advanced prosthetic methods have greatly improved this struggle for edentulous patients. The utilisation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology has only further enhanced the capabilities of dental practitioners to rapidly and accurately restore edentulism.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on rehabilitating maxillary single denture cases using two types of implant-retained attachments: telescopic and ball-and-socket, to see which provided better patient satisfaction.
- It involved 18 completely edentulous patients aged 45-60, where each received a maxillary single denture with different attachment systems, and their satisfaction was assessed immediately after and three months later.
- Results indicated that patients with telescopic attachments reported greater improvements in comfort, chewing, and overall satisfaction, while those with ball-and-socket attachments only noted better appearance, highlighting the advantages of telescopic systems.
Comparative Evaluation of Mandibular Ridge Resorption in Post-menopausal Denture and Non-Denture-Wearing Females and Its Relation to Body Mass Index: An In-Vivo Study.

Background Mandibular ridge resorption is a common problem in edentulous individuals, particularly in post-menopausal women. Body mass index (BMI) has been suggested as a potential factor influencing ridge resorption, but the relationship between the two remains unclear. Methods A study was conducted to evaluate mandibular ridge resorption in post-menopausal denture-wearing females and its relation to body mass index.

Statement Of Problem: Denture wearers are susceptible to diseases related to denture hygiene and are more prone to develop systemic disease because of poor understanding and awareness of the impact of edentulism on general health.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional chairside practice and WhatsApp in improving patient knowledge of denture care and their awareness of the impact of edentulism on general health.
Material And Methods: Sixty-two participants who attended the Polyclinic Kulliyyah of Dentistry, IIUM Kuantan in 2022 for removable prosthesis fabrication were recruited.

Article Synopsis
- - This review focused on enhancing commercial soft lining materials (SLMs) by incorporating different antifungal agents, such as polyene antibiotics, azole drugs, and antiseptics, to improve their properties.
- - It examined how these modifications affected physical characteristics of SLMs, including factors like drug release, water absorption, and strength.
- - The findings provide valuable insights for prosthetic dentistry, particularly in addressing candidiasis, a common issue for denture users.
