Removable dentures provide edentulous patients with the rehabilitation of masticatory and esthetic functions. Denture stomatitis is the most prevailing situation that has existed for long time in denture wearers. The etiopathogenesis of denture stomatitis is multifactorial and complex to understand. Candida species are normal oral commensals present in 30% to 70% of apparently healthy persons.The combination of entrapment of yeast cells in irregularities in denture-base and denturerelining materials, poor oral hygiene and several systemic factors is the most probable cause . Candida albicans that adhere to the surfaces of prostheses results in pathogenesis of denture stomatitis. Therefore to control denture stomatitis, it is important to control the adhesion of Candida albicans on the surface of the prosthesis.Hence colonization and growth on prostheses by Candida species are of clinical importance. Certain trends are followed in the management of denture stomatitis to maintain oral cavity in healthy state.
