What is Understanding Denture-Related Stomatitis about?
Denture-related stomatitis is a symptomless red lesion under a dental appliance, most commonly a maxillary denture. It is caused by an overgrowth of Candida and bacterial species in dental plaque on the denture and mucosa. Risk factors include wearing dentures continuously, dry mouth, smoking, and diabetes. Treatment involves improving denture hygiene, antifungal medication, and addressing predisposing factors like dry mouth or diabetes.
