説明

<jats:p><jats:bold>SUMMARY </jats:bold> Denture stomatitis (DS) is frequently associated with high levels of <jats:italic>Candida</jats:italic> in saliva and deficient denture hygiene. In order to analyse the incidence of DS and its pre‐disposing factors, we evaluated 77 edentulous patients before and 6 months after the placement of new complete dentures. Denture stomatitis was observed in 50·6 and 18·2% of the patients at the first and second evaluation, respectively. Salivary flow, <jats:italic>Candida</jats:italic> counts in saliva and <jats:italic>Candida</jats:italic> species were similar in both evaluations. Denture stomatitis and <jats:italic>Candida</jats:italic> in saliva were more common in females. Our results showed that denture replacement and denture hygiene improvement were useful for DS resolution, particularly types I and II. However, oral and denture hygiene must be continuous, inasmuch as salivary <jats:italic>Candida</jats:italic> counts remained high and it is considered an important pre‐disposing factor for DS.</jats:p>
